Acknowledgement

The AGPAL Group of Companies is committed to supporting the reconciliation journey among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and Non-Indigenous peoples of Australia. We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of all the lands and waters throughout Australia on which our work takes place. In particular, we acknowledge the Turrbal and Yagara people of the Yagara Nations on whose Country AGPAL is based and founded. We pay our respects to Elders – past and present – and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.

Accreditation across the health and community services spectrum

AGPAL is part of the AGPAL Group of Companies, Australia’s most comprehensive accreditation and quality support organisations.

Not-For-Profit

Reinvesting to benefit our clients

To ensure practices are appropriately supported with tools and resources, and customer service expectations are exceeded, AGPAL remains a not-for-profit organisation. Being a not-for-profit allows us to continuously re-invest back into the business to improve our general practice accreditation and related service offerings. This re-investment means greater benefits for practices at more competitive rates, allowing the delivery of improved outcomes and benefits, as well as greater industry involvement and support.

Commitment to quality – ISQua

Consistent with our commitment to quality and accreditation, AGPAL is accredited by the International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua). As an accredited organisation we participate in self-assessment and external evaluation on a regular basis, ensuring our approach to the provision of accreditation and certification services is consistent with international best practice. Being accredited ourselves gives us a 360-degree insight into the effort which organisations undertake to achieve accreditation and the support required to achieve accreditation.

Governance

Since our establishment in 1997, AGPAL has remained governed by an industry Board of Directors and seven member organisations. This governance structure allows AGPAL to work in partnership with each of our member organisations and to be advised by industry members through our Board of Directors – delivering more value, expertise, insights and benefits to practices across Australia.
