When a Surveillance Declaration is required
Certified providers must submit a Surveillance Declaration at the midpoint of their certification period if a scheduled on-site surveillance audit is not taking place. This is a requirement under the Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001.
This declaration helps ensure that providers continue to meet the required standards between full certification audits.

- Submit the form to your Designated Auditing Agency (DAA).
What happens next
- Your DAA will review the declaration.

- The Ministry of Health may also review the declaration to ensure ongoing compliance.
