The Digital Mental Health Standards were developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care to support the identification of high‑quality digital mental health services. The Standards were informed by consultation with people who use digital mental health services, mental health professionals, and industry, with a focus on safety, quality, and effectiveness.
Accredited services are required to comply with the requirements. Accreditation is granted by an approved accrediting agency trained to assess safety and quality requirements. These agencies review evidence to confirm that services meet the Digital Mental Health Standards. Further information about the Standards and the accreditation process is available from the Commission.
