Learn how the Accreditation register helps your organisation manage accreditation requirements in Logiqc, from self-assessing against a standard through to building an Evidence Report for external auditors.
Use the register to record how you meet each requirement, link supporting evidence from across your QMS, and manage the actions, reviews and approvals needed to stay compliant.
The register can support more than 70 standards relevant to health, community, disability and human services, with flexible options for single-site, multi-site and multi-program accreditation.
Overview video: Watch the short video below for a guided overview of the Accreditation register.
Key features
The Accreditation register brings your self-assessment, evidence, actions and workflow into one place, so accreditation work can be prepared, reviewed and shared without relying on separate spreadsheets or folders.
Self-assessment for recording how your organisation meets each requirement.
Action planning for creating follow-up work when a requirement needs more evidence or improvement.
Evidence Report for linking documents, audits, risks, incidents, feedback and other QMS activity.
Review reminders for keeping each standard current with assigned review work.
Approval workflow for checking updates before a standard becomes active.
Auditor access for sharing a clearer compliance view with direct links to supporting evidence.
Standards and evidence
Logiqc can support a wide range of accreditation standards, including standards used across health, aged care, disability, community and human services. When a standard is added to your platform, its requirements are available in the Accreditation register.
For each requirement, you can record your organisation's compliance statement, set the assessment rating, link evidence, and create accreditation actions where further work is needed.
- Record how the requirement is met.
- Link evidence from other Logiqc registers.
- Prepare an Evidence Report that external auditors can review.

Accreditation workflow
Each standard moves through a workflow so the work of updating compliance is kept separate from its review and approval. A standard can move between the Manage and Review stages as many times as needed before it is escalated for approval.
The Task management section shows the options available for the stage you are working in.

Manage stage
Choose whether to delegate the review, reschedule the review, or escalate the standard for approval.
Review stage
Complete the review when the work is finished, or make a progress note while the review is still in progress.
Approve stage
Approve the standard and set the next review date, or assign further work before approving it.

Tabs and standards
The Accreditation register is organised into tabs, each showing a filtered list of items. The first two tabs are named after the levels of the standard you are viewing, so their labels can change when you switch standards.
The tabs show the structure, actions, evidence, drafts and archived items for the standard currently selected.
- Section and sub-section tabs: move through the structure of the standard and open the requirements within each section.
- Accreditation action plan: review actions created to address gaps or improvement work.
- Evidence list: review linked evidence and open an Evidence Report for external review.
- Draft: publish standards that have been imported by Logiqc but are not yet active.
- Archived: view standards or requirements that are no longer required.
To find a specific requirement, search within the register, apply filters, or use Global Search from the top of the platform.

Multi-site and multi-program accreditation
If your organisation needs to assess the same standard across multiple sites or programs, Logiqc can show site-specific or program-specific assessment fields for each requirement.
Multi-site accreditation: use site-specific assessments when each site needs its own rating, evidence and reporting.
Multi-program accreditation: use program-specific assessments when different service programs need separate evidence against the same standard.
