The RACGP Expert Committee – Standards for General Practices is established to:
- develop and maintain standards and associated resources for general practice with the purpose of protecting patients from harm by improving the quality and safety of health services and that include support for health promotion and preventive care.
- ensure the standards reflect quality practice and are independent of government policies and initiatives.
- monitor the development and application of relevant standards in Australia and overseas and oversee the RACGP’s role in the development and monitoring of standards in related areas.
- establish a mechanism for standards interpretation with organisations that accredit against the RACGP Standards.
- ensure adequate communication about standards for general practices within the RACGP, its members, the
- medical profession, government and the Australian community.
