Accreditation preparation takes time most practice teams do not have. MedAssure provides consultant-led RACGP accreditation support: we build and organise your policies, registers, evidence systems and survey documentation, then guide your team through the final sign-off, training and implementation steps only your practice can complete. You work with an experienced RACGP accreditation consultant, with a clear plan and defined responsibilities from day one.
Supporting Practices Preparing for Assessment Through
MedAssure supports practices preparing for RACGP 5th Edition assessment through accreditation providers such as AGPAL and QPA. We are independent and not affiliated with RACGP, AGPAL or QPA.
The Problem
Most practices understand accreditation is important. But when it comes to the actual preparation, it consistently falls to already-stretched practice managers and principals to coordinate documentation, chase evidence, interpret standards, and prepare staff, all while running a busy clinic.
The result is rushed preparation, fragmented systems, and real risk of non-compliance findings on assessment day.
MedAssure reduces that workload. We build and organise your policies, evidence systems, registers and protocols, then give your team a short, precise checklist for the parts only your practice can complete, such as approving documents, staff sign-off, training and final setup.
What Practices Struggle With
How It Works
A clear, structured process that takes the complexity out of RACGP accreditation preparation.
We map your survey date, your timeline and where your practice is starting from, then set out a clear preparation plan and a defined scope. No obligation to proceed.
We complete the work practices find hardest, so your practice becomes well prepared for assessment with minimal load on your team. You send us the inputs; we build and organise the rest.
We guide your team through final checks, a remote mock assessment and assessor-question preparation, so your AGPAL or QPA survey runs smoothly. On-site support is available for Perth-metro practices.
Client Feedback
"Passing our RACGP accreditation assessment used to mean weeks of stress, lost clinical hours, and frantically pulling together evidence. Bringing in Ben and MedAssure completely transformed that process.
Ben didn't just dump templates on us: he audited our workflows against the 5th Edition Standards, closed our compliance gaps, and built a system that keeps us audit-ready every single day.
Thanks to Ben, our surveyors were genuinely impressed, our clinical team stayed focused on patients, and we passed seamlessly. If you want total confidence on assessment day, Ben is who you call."

Learn More →Why MedAssure
We take the documentation and evidence burden off your team. Instead of your practice manager interpreting standards and assembling registers between patients, we build the policies, evidence systems, QI activities and survey-readiness documentation for you, working in the background.
Your team’s part shrinks to a clear checklist: the staff sign-offs, training and final setup only your practice can do. Clear scope and defined responsibilities, confirmed before any work begins.
Understanding Accreditation
Accreditation shows that a medical practice is meeting the minimum safety, quality and risk-management standards required in Australia. It applies to all general practices and demonstrates a commitment to high-quality care and continuous improvement.
Practices seeking accreditation against the RACGP Standards for General Practices (5th Edition) must engage an approved accrediting agency. The two most commonly used agencies are:

FAQ
Everything you need to know about RACGP accreditation and how MedAssure can help.
Yes. We support general practices Australia-wide through full remote accreditation assistance, with onsite visits available when needed.
MedAssure can handle most of the preparation workload, including policies, procedures, registers, evidence folders, improvement activities, business planning, emergency planning and survey-day preparation. Your practice still needs to approve the documents, provide practice-specific information, complete staff sign-offs, carry out required training, and operate the systems day to day. We make that lighter and clearer by giving your team a precise checklist and guiding you through each step.
Yes. MedAssure prepares medical centres for all accreditation bodies under the RACGP Standards.
We can assist with any part, for example, policies, documentation, evidence, registers, business plans or PDSA cycles.
Most practices start 3–12 months ahead, but we can help even if your date is approaching.
Yes. The RACGP has closed consultation on the 6th Edition Standards, which are expected to be released with a transition period during which practices can be assessed under either edition. Most practices are still surveyed under the 5th Edition for now. MedAssure monitors the 6th Edition transition and can support your practice when the new Standards take effect.
