CMA Standards Council

The Christian Ministry Advancement Standards Council (CMASC) was formed in late 2015 with the mission to help build faith and trust in Christian organisations, be they churches, charities, schools or otherwise, to enable them to achieve more effective outcomes.

They do this by:

  • Articulating and publishing a set of standards defining accountable behaviour for Christian organisations and churches
  • Accrediting organisations who are fully compliant with those standards
  • Publishing details of accredited organisations in their directory
  • Providing resources, training and assistance to help organisations become more accountable
  • Challenging donors and volunteers to favour organisations who are serious about good governance, transparency and accountability.

ISO 9001:2015

In 2017 Anglicare Tasmania upgraded its accreditation with International Standards Organisation (ISO) to ISO 9001: 2015 across all services. Specifically Anglicare:

a) Needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and

b) Aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer needs and applicable standards.

The audit conducted in June 2017 found that the Quality Management is very effective in ensuring the scope of service delivery within the ISO 9001:2015 framework and is very effective in meeting customer expectations, satisfying the needs of funding agreements and the client receiving the end service.

Leadership, communication and continuous improvement were identified as system strengths and the team basis for human resource activity is very effective in implementation.

Australian Community Industry Standard (ACIS)

ACIS is national quality management standard that focuses on the key issues required to deliver high quality, individualised attendant care in the community. ACIS is outcomes based which means that each of the requirements has sub groups in the achievement of an outcome that will directly benefit service users.

Anglicare has Internal Audit processes that are structured to audit the four sections, 23 outcomes and 80 requirements contained within ACIS.

The four sections are:

  1. Service User Rights and Responsibilities
  2. Organisational Management
  3. Service Provision
  4. Work Environment.

This process also audits against other relevant standards to the services provided by Anglicare including the Home Care Common Standards and National Standards for Disability Standards. Through these audits Anglicare is able to ensure that we are learning and continually improving our services and office functions.
