Assessed against the RACGP Standards
Accreditation means the practice is assessed by an independent accrediting body against the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners' Standards for general practices. The assessment covers how the practice is run, from patient safety and clinical records to its systems, policies and staff.
Chapel Street has been accredited since 1997. Accreditation is renewed on a three-year cycle, so the practice must continue to meet those standards rather than passing a one-off assessment.
