ASES accreditation

BDO is an approved Australian Services Excellence Standards (ASES) auditor. This internationally accredited quality framework is primarily intended for organisations in the health and welfare sector, but is equally applicable to all firms looking to strengthen their operations and deliver better products and services.

Achieving ASES accreditation signals your organisation is worthy of ongoing funding and support. The discipline of achieving the standards and undergoing an independent review is also a valuable service and quality improvement process to help build and strengthen your organisation.

As a qualified ASES External Assessor, our Industrial & Organisational Psychology (I&OP) team, led by Scott Way, ensures a simple and easy road to your accreditation.

An ASES assessor for the past 10 years, Scott has provided ASES supports to organisations in the housing, homeless, community and welfare sectors.

Scott directly undertakes all ASES external assessments, working with client organisations to minimise the disruption of the assessment process while maximising its benefits.  He sees ASES as not only a compliance process, but a valuable framework to guide the shaping of systems and practices that ensure the provision of consistent quality service to clients and stakeholders.

As an organisational psychologist with more than 30 years’ experience, Scott can help you to maintain certificate or award level accreditation and build a better business.
