If your practice is accredited through QPA, your survey assesses you against the RACGP Standards for general practices. The preparation is the same disciplined work whichever provider you choose.
How to prepare
- Self-assess against the Core, Quality Improvement and General Practice modules.
- Flag and satisfy the must-meet indicators.
- Gather evidence for each indicator in an evidence tracker.
- Run a gap analysis and work the priority list.
- Check your readiness score before the survey date.
Organised beats last-minute
A practice that has mapped its evidence to the indicators walks into a QPA survey calm and prepared. Practice Accreditation is the structured way to get there; QPA conducts the formal survey. See AGPAL preparation if that is your provider.
Frequently asked questions
What is QPA?
QPA (Quality Practice Accreditation) is one of the approved accrediting agencies that assess Australian general practices against the RACGP Standards under the National General Practice Accreditation Scheme.
Does this tool replace QPA?
No. QPA conducts your formal survey. Practice Accreditation is an independent preparation aid that helps you self-assess, organise evidence and close gaps beforehand. It is not affiliated with QPA.
