Organisations that are enrolled on the Te Wana Quality Improvement Programme have a window-period to ready themselves for an external review by a team led by one of our Programme Managers. If successful, the organisation can gain one of two awards – Accreditation or Certification.

‍Accreditation signifies that an enrolled organisation has undertaken a third party review and complied with the requirements of the programme. An accreditation certificate is issued by AAA-NZ as the accreditation provider that the organisation has met the conditions of accreditation within its specified scope.

‍Certification signifies that an enrolled organisation has undertaken a third party review and complied with the requirements of the programme for a one year certification level.

AAA-NZ issues the appropriate certificate stating the specified level and scope of attainment.

Once an organisation is accredited they are listed, along with their expiry date, in the table below.  The table is not exhaustive of all the organisations enrolled on the Te Wana Quality Improvement Programme as some are within their preparation window-period prior to their external review.

Organisations are encouraged to promote their accredited status to their clients and the local community.
