Matilda Remains the Only Hospital Worldwide to Receive ACHS ‘Outstanding Achievement’ for Twice

Written by Matilda International Hospital | 4 Nov, 2026

Matilda International Hospital has been awarded accreditation with ‘Outstanding Achievement’ by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) International for a second consecutive cycle, Sep 2026 to Sep 2029. The recognition covers the EQuIP7 programme, including the Advanced Person-Centred Systems (PCS) module. We remain the only hospital in the world to have achieved this distinction.

Following our first ‘Outstanding Achievement’ in 2023, this latest result reflects our sustained commitment to healthcare quality and person-centred care. Our latest independent assessment concluded with no recommendations for improvement.

‘Outstanding Achievement’ is the highest level of recognition available under this accreditation. It recognises hospitals that meet and exceed all elements of the EQuIP7 Core, Hospital and Ambulatory Standards and fulfil all requirements of the Advanced PCS module.

For patients and their families, person-centred care means being listened to, having their individual needs and preferences respected, and being supported to participate in decisions about their care. These principles guide our teams in their daily work across the hospital.

Accredited by ACHS International since 2010, Matilda undertakes regular independent external reviews to assess the quality and safety of our services and guide continuous improvement. This second consecutive recognition reflects the dedication of our doctors, nurses, allied health professionals and colleagues across every department.

We will continue to build on this achievement, guided by our mission: “for the benefit, care and happiness of patients”.
