Wynyard Medical Centre was granted full General Practice Accreditation (as per RACGP Standard 5th Edition) on the 9th of August, 2022, which means that we have met the standards set by the Medical Profession. These standards are designed to ensure high-quality safety and organisation.

What is General Practice Accreditation?

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners have issued accreditation standards for practice to comply with to ensure quality services are provided. This practice is required to have an on-site visit by an authorised accreditation body every 3 years and internal checks on an ongoing and regular basis.

The assessment process includes:

• Interviewing staff

•Interviewing practitioners we support
• Monitoring practice operations (medical and non-medical)
• Examines the facilities
• Analysis of medical records
• Assesses patient and staff feedback
