The Practice Accreditation Survey provides a streamlined approach for collecting patient feedback for the practice, and ensuring practices meet RACGP Standards 5th edition and enhance their eligibility for the Practice Incentive Program – Quality Improvement.

For practices aiming to go beyond basic accreditation and enhance individual practitioner performance, Practice Accreditation Survey Plus includes feedback for individual practitioners in addition to the practice. Practitioners can choose from patient feedback or Multi-Source Feedback which collects comprehensive feedback not only from patients but also from colleagues. This addition contributes significantly towards the Medical Board of Australia’s CPD requirements for practitioners.
