Partnership
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much” Helen Keller
In our complex and constantly evolving healthcare system, working with like-minded organisations can be the key to improving patient safety and quality care.
Health Quality & Safety Commission New Zealand
The Australasian Institute of Clinical Governance (AICG) and the Health Quality & Safety Commission of New Zealand (The Commission) are working together under a partnership arrangement to build workforce capability in quality and safety competencies in the New Zealand healthcare system.
Based on shared intentions and aspirations to empower individuals within the healthcare system to act to ensure safe and quality consumer-centred care for all, the partnership enables health professionals to access cross-Tasman, yet locally relevant, clinical governance professional development programs at sponsored or discounted rates and be involved in a like-minded clinical governance community with their Australian counterparts.
Collaborative activities to promote and grow the clinical governance community, greater sharing of cross-Tasman knowledge and resources and the formation of a New Zealand AICG Facilitator Faculty will form part of the ongoing partnership.

Health Roundtable
AICG and Health Roundtable are working to improve patient safety through a partnership collaboration. Health Roundtable Limited is a not-for-profit membership organisation of health services across Australia and New Zealand, that exists to:
- Provide opportunities for health executives and staff to learn how to achieve best practice in their organisations,
- Collect, analyse and publish information comparing organisations and identifying ways to improve operational practices, and
- Promote interstate and international collaboration and networking amongst health organisations.
- Provide benchmarking data to support learning for improved health outcomes.
Collaboration on events and educational content will form part of the ongoing partnership.
the pacific community (spc)
The Australasian Institute of Clinical Governance (AICG) is proud to collaborate with The Pacific Community to tailor our Certificate in Clinical Governance for the unique healthcare environments of the Pacific Islands.
The Pacific Community has been supporting sustainable development in the Pacific through science, knowledge and innovation since 1947. It is the principal intergovernmental organisation in the region, owned and governed by its 27 member countries and territories. It serves member countries and territories by interweaving and harnessing the nexus of climate, ocean, land, culture, rights and good governance through trusted partnerships, investing in Pacific people, and understanding Pacific contexts.
This partnership integrates the deep knowledge and experience of the Pacific Community, ensuring that our clinical governance education aligns with the specific cultural, environmental, and governance contexts of the Pacific region.
