STARS Accreditation

As you know our accreditation survey by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) runs this week from Monday to Thursday (14-17 March). Some of you may have met the survey team already. The team are spending most of their time in the hospital talking to staff in both clinical and non-clinical areas. They may come and ask you questions, but they mostly want to see how we provide excellent patient-focussed care – feel free to showcase what you do.

COVID vaccinations and recording your boosters

While daily COVID infections have been declining, vaccinations and boosters will continue to play a critical role in managing this and future waves.

If you are due for your COVID-19 vaccination booster, I’d encourage you to present for vaccination as soon as possible. If you received your second vaccination three or more months ago, you are eligible to get your booster at any of Metro North vaccination clinics, or by making an appointment with your GP or local pharmacy.

If you have already had your COVID-19 vaccination booster, please record it by following the instructions below.

Best wishes,
