About the NGPA Scheme
The Commission in collaboration with the RACGP developed the NGPA Scheme, which commenced on 1 January 2017. The NGPA Scheme supports the accreditation of Australian general practices to the RACGP Standards for general practices and the RACGP Standards for point-of-care testing (as of November 2021).
In 2021, the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care (the Department) commissioned an independent review of general practice accreditation arrangements, including the NGPA Scheme. The purpose of the consultation was to seek stakeholder feedback on the strengths and limitations of general practice accreditation and its intersection with educational accreditation.
For further information on the review, or to access the final report, visit Australian Government Department of Health Consultation Hub.
