ACDP Integrated Management System (IMS) Policy
The Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) is a high-containment facility designed to allow scientific research into the most dangerous infectious agents in the world.
ACDP plays a vital role in protecting Australia’s multi-billion dollar livestock and aquaculture industries and the general public from existing and emerging infectious diseases. Through advanced research, diagnosis and surveillance, policy advice and training, the facility enhances biosecurity within Australia and the region.
ACDP’s Integrated Management System (IMS) ensures the consistent delivery of products and services that mitigate and prevent disease.
We strive to align our science delivery with organisational values and stakeholder expectations through:
- Delivering our products and services according to the requirements of our certifications and accreditations to international quality standards (ISO9001, ISO17025, and ISO17043)
- Establishing and maintaining robust systems and processes that
deliver reputable and repeatable science - Actively pursuing continual improvement in everything we do
- Protecting our staff, community and the environment through responsible work practices and the maintenance of infrastructure, plant, and equipment
- Developing and maintaining frameworks which foster the creation and monitoring of relevant quality objectives and targets
- Knowing our customers and delivering to their needs and expectations
- Building mutually beneficial partnerships, working collaboratively and harmoniously
- Delivering to national and international obligations and compliance requirements, including legislation at Federal, State and Local level as well as corporate and industry agreements
- Empowering our people to consistently achieve excellence
Quality is a shared responsibility, accepted by the ACDP community and reinforced by management’s commitment to the integrity of the IMS and the achievement of all applicable requirements through the creation of a culture in which teams thrive.
