Standards for general practices

The RACGP has enjoyed a long history of developing standards for general practices on behalf of the profession. The college has a strong focus on ensuring the standards reflect the quality of day-to-day general practice, are acceptable, achievable and recognise and value the diversity within general practice.

The standards are an important guide for self assessment, covering the key processes within a general practice involved in providing safe, high quality care. The standards are also used as the basis for general practice accreditation, which involves a visit to the practice by peers. The RACGP National Expert Committee on Standards for General Practices is responsible for developing and maintaining the RACGP’s Standards for general practices. For further information on RACGP standards, visit www.racgp.org.au/standards.
