National Accreditation Committee - monitors and reports on the accreditation of training sites and supervisors, and the accreditation of organisations delivering training towards Fellowship of RACGP or the International Conjoint Fellowship. The National Accreditation Committee meets quarterly to review summaries and reports on training site and supervisor accreditations, critical incidents, and adverse events significant to training site monitoring, evaluation of remote supervision processes and evaluate all accreditation systems. The committee evaluates effectiveness, manages issues arising and ensures alignment with the standards and RACGP accreditation requirements with the AMC.

Post-Vocational Education Committee - acts as a key interface for discussion and coordination between the departments and faculties responsible for the development of post vocational education and links the educational aspects of CPD to education services and the educational thought processes and strategy that spans the life cycle of general practice.
