Our Certifications and Accreditations
Accreditation is a formal program conducted by an independent third party verifying that Guidestar is compliant with and meets requirements of governing standards. It is a formal program where trained independent reviewers assess evidence of implementation for specified industry standards. Formal assessments take place every three years and, in the case of the NDIS there is a mid-cycle audit at the 18 month mark. Once the assessors have verified that we have met the required standards, a certification is issues.
Guidestar has demonstrated compliance with and achieved the following certifications:
NDIS Registered Provider
