The program run by ACHS is known as the Evaluation and Quality Improvement Program (EQuIP) with quality standards comprising 45 criteria across 3 functions.

In 2005 Sydney Adventist Hospital received 4-year accreditation and in 2007 underwent Periodic Review being awarded Extensive Achievement (EA) in a number of areas including Infection Prevention and Control.
