The New National Medical Imaging Standards
Seven pages: what changes, the six shifts that matter, who carries the most new work, and seven steps worth taking now.
Download the guide (PDF)No sign-up and no email required. Based on the draft published 1 December 2025.
What's in the guide
Seven pages, no padding
Four times the size of DIAS
Fifteen standards and 42 criteria become 4 standards and 53 mandatory actions. Why the size is not the real problem.
Documents to systems
What an assessor will ask for instead of your Safety and Quality Manual, and why a policy folder no longer passes on its own.
Accountability gets a name
DIAS obliges "the practice". The draft obliges a named governing body: board, CEO, partnership or owner. In a small practice, that is you personally.
The six changes that matter
Governance, consumers, appropriateness, digital and AI, cultural safety, and the physical environment.
Who carries the most new work
Standalone practices, owner-operators, dental and chiropractic imaging, and multi-site groups on fragmented renewal cycles.
Seven things worth doing now
Each one also improves your position under the current DIAS standards, so none of it is wasted if the draft changes.
Written from the draft, not the headlines
The guide is based on a clause-level comparison of the draft National Medical Imaging Standards (V0.16, December 2025) against the current DIAS Standards: 15 standards and 42 criteria on one side, 4 standards with 53 mandatory actions and around 170 sub-points on the other. The counts are charted rather than asserted, alongside a timeline of where the draft sits between the 2024 consultation and the expected 2028 start.
The draft will change before implementation. When it does, this guide is rewritten against the new version rather than patched, and the comparison counts are redone.
Who it's for
Practice owners, managers and directors
Anyone responsible for an imaging practice that holds a Location Specific Practice Number. If your accreditation evidence currently lives in a folder that gets assembled before each assessment, this guide is about you.
If you want the applied version
The guide tells you what is changing in general. The Accreditation Readiness Review tells you what it means for your practice specifically: your accreditation position across every site, a readiness rating against each DIAS standard, key-person risk, and a prioritised action list. Fixed price, from $990 ex GST, report in 10 business days.
