Implementation of the Australian National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health Standards.

Objective: Following the release of the Australian National Safety and Quality Digital Mental Health (NSQDMH) Standards in November 2020, our objective was to ensure effective implementation of the Standards. This included the development of an accreditation scheme to allow digital mental health services to be formally assessed against the Standards and provide service users with an assurance of safe and high-quality services.

Method: The accreditation scheme was adapted from the one used for the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards.
