The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is a mid-sized government administration body based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It leads national efforts to improve safety and quality in health care, partnering with the Australian Government, state and territory health systems, patients, clinicians, managers and private sector organizations.

The commission develops and maintains national safety and quality standards and clinical care standards to promote evidence-based care and to support improvements in patient outcomes, while providing information and resources. Its work is organized around four priority areas: patient safety; partnering with patients, consumers and communities; quality, cost and value; and enabling health professionals to deliver safe, high-quality care. The governance is provided by a Board appointed by the Health Minister in consultation with state ministers, bringing expertise in healthcare administration, law, governance and safety and quality improvement; in 2023 it released an updated hip fracture clinical care standard.
