About

The Clinical Excellence Commission leads patient, clinical and system safety and clinical governance across NSW Health.

We do this by:

  • embedding and maturing the NSW Health Safety System Model
  • working with clinicians, health services, consumers and partners to reduce harm
  • monitoring, predicting and responding to patient safety risks
  • leading clinical governance systems, processes and functions
  • developing and co-producing evidence-based, statewide patient safety initiatives.

Our work supports safer care and better health outcomes for people and communities across NSW, including contributing to closing the gap for Aboriginal people.

We follow NSW Health’s CORE values of Collaboration, Openness, Respect and Empowerment.
