Requests for approval under the NGPA Scheme

Applications for extensions and appeals can be submitted to the Commission for determination using the General practice application form.

Applications must provide a strong rationale in compliance with the eligibility criteria. Applications that do not meet the criteria will not be considered.

For information on the criteria for approval refer to:

• Advisory GP23/02: Requests for extensions and appeals

Submit an application

Following the submission of a request, the Commission will review all the evidence submitted, collect further evidence from the general practice’s accrediting agency if required, and may seek advice from other relevant parties such as the General Practice Accreditation Coordinating Committee, prior to determining the outcome of the request.

Requests can take 10 to 20 business days to be processed, dependent on the type of request submitted, evidence provided, and the need to seek further information.
