Based on the evidence and rationale provided, the Commission will determine approval on a case-by-case basis. The Commission recommends that general practices liaise with their accrediting agency prior to submitting a request. The Commission will contact the accrediting agency for information as part of its assessment of the submission prior to making a determination.
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 GP18/01: Extensions to accreditation

Please allow at least 10 business days for your application to be processed.
The timing of the Commission’s decision will be dependent on the accrediting agency and general practice providing all the required information and evidence to support the request.
