An ACHS assessor is an experienced healthcare professional who can assess healthcare organisations against our EQuIP standards and according to quality program requirements.
A Lead Assessor is an assessor who is responsible for leading assessment teams and guiding the overall quality program experience with our member organisations. The Lead Assessor is the main point of contact during all onsite assessments and will keep your organisation updated on findings of the assessment team.
