Quality Practice Accreditation

19/03/2026

Accreditation works best when quality improvement becomes part of everyday practice life. That is why QPA runs Keeping Up with Quality, a series of short practical workshops designed to help practices stay confident with the RACGP Standards.

Each 30 minute session focuses on a key topic such as non-conformities, infection control, triage and business continuity. Practices also receive practical tools and resources such as checklists, worksheets and templates to take straight back into the practice.

Our next Keeping Up with Quality workshop set begins 24th March 2026. QPA practices can register through the Connect portal.

If your practice is not currently accredited with QPA and you would like access to practical support, resources and ongoing learning opportunities like this, visit our website to learn more about how QPA supports practices through accreditation.

Recently we invited some of our amazing QPA practices to share how they deliver quality and excellence within their practice and to their community.

Forresters Beach Medical is one such practice who has recently successfully achieved QPA accreditation.

In their words, they've 'prioritised building an excellent staff culture where they've established a team whose priority is to provide exemplary care to patients. The practice strives to provide an excellent service to their practice population and is quick to implement any new measures that improve quality.'

Congratulations on your recent certification, your wonderful team effort and thank you for sharing these words! 👏👏

Short on time but need to stay accreditation-ready?

Keeping Up with Quality launches on 10 February, exclusively for QPA practices! Each topic is delivered in a quick 15–30 minute session with a short video, practical resources, and interactive polls and Q&A.

It’s designed to fit into real practice schedules while keeping quality and accreditation requirements on track.

A new advisory, GP25/01, has recently been released by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC). The advisory clarifies the requirements for accreditation under the National General Practice Accreditation (NGPA) Scheme for general practices and accrediting agencies.

From the 1st November 2025, general practices that have not previously registered for accreditation with an approved accrediting agency, and want to achieve accreditation under the Scheme, must register.

Some fantastic feedback from one of the quality practice teams, M3 Health Hobsons Bay, who were in attendance at our recent workshop, held in partnership with North Western Melbourne PHN earlier this month!

Last week, M3 Health Hobsons Bay participated in a session hosted by the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network, where Dr Paul Mara (Founder & Managing Director of QPA) and Michaela Doon (Quality Accreditation Manager) shared valuable insights on quality improvement and accreditation in general practice.

It was an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow Practice Managers across the region and discuss how we can continue driving quality care and continuous improvement within our practices.

We’re proud to be part of a collaborative primary care network committed to excellence and better outcomes for our patients.
