ome time frames which services should consider are:
> service must be operational for at least 12 months before it can be eligible for accreditation
> the time between requesting an assessment and the site assessment is a minimum of 12 weeks
> for services who have had their accreditation recommended by the assessment team following a site assessment, the time between the site assessment and having accreditation confirmed is typically 6 weeks
> for services who have had their accreditation deferred by the assessment team following a site assessment, the service has up to 6 month to meet the standards and sign off their deferral reassessment. If the service can be accredited, the time to having accreditation confirmed is typically 4 weeks from signing off the deferral assessment.
