To maintain or achieve accreditation from AGPAL, general practices need to follow the RACGP's Standards list of equipment to handle emergency resuscitations and provide a more comprehensive level of clinical care. The government wants GP's to cater for more specific healthcare needs in the local community without the need to refer patients to other service providers. This grant also applies to healthcare needs that are outside of the clinic so GP's can improve their level of healthcare to the local community.
By increasing the funding to GP's the Government hopes to increase the number of accredited practices which will increase the standard of primary care across the country and reduce pressure on hospitals. SSS Australia is here to help with any equipment needs.
