We are proud to announce that we have successfully achieved accreditation for another 3 years.

What does this mean?

Being accredited means our general practice is committed to a comprehensive program which involves:
-engaging our whole practice team to review our practice’s system and processes
-Opening our practice doors to allow a team of independent surveyors to assess how our practice operates
- Assessment of our practice, and achievement of the nationally recognised Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Standards for general practices, that focus on health care quality and patient safety.

As a member of the community you may be surprised to learn that general practice accreditation is a voluntary process- which means not all practices undergo an independent on-site assessment on a regular basis.
