Quality Practice Accreditation

02/06/2026

Last week, QPA Founder and Managing Director, Dr Paul Mara was thrilled to speak at a special training and networking event hosted by the Brisbane North PHN. Dr Mara discussed how practices can build greater business advantage with the implementation of the 6th edition Standards.

The event was a great success with more than 50 GP's, Practice Managers and support staff from across the Brisbane North region attending the event.

QPA is proud to partner with our PHN colleagues to support general practice teams in driving quality to their patients and the communities they serve. Thank you Brisbane North PHN for this valuable event.

Accreditation works best when quality improvement becomes part of everyday practice life. That is why QPA runs Keeping Up with Quality, a series of short practical workshops designed to help practices stay confident with the RACGP Standards.

Each 30 minute session focuses on a key topic such as non-conformities, infection control, triage and business continuity. Practices also receive practical tools and resources such as checklists, worksheets and templates to take straight back into the practice.

Our next Keeping Up with Quality workshop set begins 24th March 2026. QPA practices can register through the Connect portal.

If your practice is not currently accredited with QPA and you would like access to practical support, resources and ongoing learning opportunities like this, visit our website to learn more about how QPA supports practices through accreditation.

Recently we invited some of our amazing QPA practices to share how they deliver quality and excellence within their practice and to their community.

Forresters Beach Medical is one such practice who has recently successfully achieved QPA accreditation.

In their words, they've 'prioritised building an excellent staff culture where they've established a team whose priority is to provide exemplary care to patients. The practice strives to provide an excellent service to their practice population and is quick to implement any new measures that improve quality.'

Congratulations on your recent certification, your wonderful team effort and thank you for sharing these words! 👏👏
