What Does AGPAL Mean?

AGPAL accredits GP practices.
AGPAL stands for Australian General Practices Accreditation Limited. AGPAL is the leading provider of accreditation for Australia's General Practices. Over 80% of Australia's General Practices are accredited with AGPAL.

AGPAL is an independent, not-for-profit body that aims to improve the quality of health care provided to all Australians. AGPAL is not a government run or funded entity.

What is AGPAL Accreditation?
AGPAL Accreditation lets you know that a general practice has met standards of safety and quality. AGPAL Accreditation is voluntary.

AGPAL Accreditation cycle
AGPAL Accreditation involves a three year cycle where practices:

Perform self-assessment against the RACGP Standards for General Practices.

Undergo a survey visit facilitated by GP peers. Commence a continuous quality improvement cycle towards best practice. Receive documentary validation and recognition as an accredited general practice on achievement of AGPAL Accreditation.
 
By meeting the standards and getting AGPAL Accreditation, a general practice
shows its commitment to respecting patients' rights and needs, providing a safe
place for care, improving patient health, and using safe, clean, and appropriate
equipment.

For a practice to be accredited the GPs also need to demonstrate a commitment
to ongoing education and training.
