The Clinical Excellence Commission (CEC) provides leadership in safety and quality in NSW to improve healthcare for patients.  We develop and deliver initiatives in collaboration with health services, clinicians and patients. This includes quality improvement projects that focus on people and culture, team effectiveness and organisational development; patient safety programs that focus on assurance and governance, adult patient safety, medication safety, paediatric patient safety; as well as incident management and mortality review.

The CEC is building capacity and capability in local quality improvement initiatives across NSW health through the Quality Improvement Academy, and supports the NSW health system in providing the safest and highest quality care for every patient.
