Quality Use of Pathology Program - Conference Sponsorship

Overview

The Quality Use of Pathology Program (QUPP) is a longstanding pathology quality program that was established in 1999. QUPP was established to support the pathology sector in the pursuit of continued improvements and to encourage innovation in pathology related practices, amongst requesters/referrers, providers and consumers of pathology services. Projects funded under the QUPP align with the strategic direction of the National Pathology Accreditation Program which forms the other part of the pathology quality program managed by the Australian Government.  The Conference Sponsorship Grants opportunity will allow organisations to apply for a contribution towards key conferences that support the pathology sector, where the conference aligns with one or more of the three key QUPP objectives.  The objectives of the QUPP Program are: Quality Pathology Practice: To support professional practice standards that meet consumer and referrer needs and provide evidence-based, best practice, quality-assured services that are safe, cost effective and efficient;  Quality Referrals (Requesting/Ordering): To support referral practices that are informed and facilitated by best practice professional relationships and protocols between referrers and providers; that are informed by evidence; that maximise health benefits; and that inform and engage consumers; and Quality Consumer Services: To develop and improve consumer-focussed, accessible and coordinated services that promote informed Please note: There is another grant opportunity available under QUPP for organisations seeking Project Grants. Details of that grant opportunity can be found at GO5049.  To view the Grant Opportunity Guidelines, please select the red "GO Documents" button on the left hand side.
