Accreditation

Accreditation

Accreditation is independent recognition that a practice meets the requirements of governing industry standards. These are set by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). Accreditation demonstrates a practice's dedication to delivering high quality care and safety to their patients.
