Accreditation of the RACGP training programs and CPD Home
The RACGP is accredited by the Australian Medical Council (AMC) to deliver specialist medical education and training leading to the Fellowship of the RACGP and continuing professional development (CPD) for registered general practitioners.
The Australian Medical Council (AMC) is an independent national standards body for medical education, training and assessment. The AMC is appointed under the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law and works with the Medical Board of Australia (MBA).
Assessment
All medical specialist colleges undergo accreditation and reaccreditation on a regular basis to ensure that Australia’s registered health practitioners are suitably trained, qualified and safe to practise. The AMC assesses, monitors and accredits to the Standards for Assessment and Accreditation of Specialist Medical Programs and the Criteria for AMC Accreditation of CPD Homes.
Current accreditation status
The RACGP underwent reaccreditation in 2024 and was granted accreditation for six years to 31 March 2031, subject to satisfying AMC monitoring requirements including annual submissions and addressing accreditation conditions.
