How can we help with practice accreditation?
Our Primary Care Support team assists practices undertaking accreditation for the first time, or those undergoing re-accreditation.
This support includes:
- an overview of accreditation to help you decide on an accrediting body
- guidance on policies and procedures with templates to develop these
- resources such as the Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL) ‘Hub’
- a tracking process, of 12-18 months, to meet the accreditation criteria.
Â
General practices are assessed for accreditation against the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) standards for general practices.
Why get practice accreditation?
The benefits of completing accreditation are:
- improved patient care and health outcomes
- reduction in practice risk
- improved practice efficiency
- insurance providers’ recognition
- access to the Practice Incentives Program (PIP).
Who are the accreditation bodies?
There are three recognised accreditation bodies in Australia that practices may choose to register with for accreditation:
- Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited (AGPAL)
- Quality Practice Accreditation (formerly GPA)
- The Australian Council on Healthcare Standards (ACHS) 
Both organisations use a system of peer review, provide access to resources and charge a fee for registering.
