Portland District Health
2006/07 Quality Report
Following on from last year, Portland District
Health will produce it’s Quality of Care
Report as an insert in the local print media
- Portland Observer, to provide maximum
distribution to the Portland community.
In 2006 both the Aged Care Accreditation
and organisation wide survey occurred.
In September 2006 a two-day Aged Care
Facility site audit reported compliance in all
44 standards, resulting in the awarding of
three years accreditation for our aged care
facility to 2009.
In August 2006 an organisation wide survey,
conducted over four days, resulted in
Portland District Health achieving four years
accreditation status to 2010.
The results achieved
in meeting the required
standards for both
accreditation surveys
are a credit to all the
staff. Well done!
