Re-accreditation for the 2026–28 triennium

If you have courses that were accredited for the 2023–25 triennium, you need to apply for re-accreditation for the 2026–28 triennium.

Contact the GPMHSC Secretariat via email at gpmhsc@racgp.org.au if you have any questions about re-accreditation.
To apply for re-accreditation of an accredited course, you must:

  • complete the updated GPMHSC application form for 2026–28 found here, or on the GPMHSC website here
  • confirm you have updated any research, data and statistics to be relevant within the last five years
    • If you have any changes to your activity, you must complete the survey, updating all sections that require updating. Then upload with your application
      • a cover letter outlining any changes in the course
      • a short paragraph about how your activity is run through a trauma informed care lens
      • relevant documents showing any changes (e.g., updated course outline, predisposing and reinforcing components, evaluation material, participant resources/workbooks)
      • evaluation reports that contain aggregated data from each time that the course was delivered in the previous triennium
  • If you have no changes outside of updating research, data and statistics, simply include your new RACGP CPD activity ID and select ‘no changes’ to finish the survey, and upload alongside your application:
    • a cover letter outlining a short paragraph about how your activity is run through a trauma informed care lens
    • relevant documents for the new activity triennium (e.g., updated course outline, predisposing and reinforcing components, evaluation material, participant resources/workbooks)
    • evaluation reports that contain aggregated data from each time that the course was delivered in the previous triennium.


Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recommendations
 

The GPMHSC respectfully acknowledges that a strong connection to country, culture and community is
integral to strong health and wellbeing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

As part of the GPMHSCs dedication to Closing the Gap, and determination to provide more equitable
healthcare to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, a list of recommended inclusions to GPMHSC
accredited activities have been developed by experts such as the Royal Australian College of General
Practitioners (RACGP) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Faculty, Professor Helen Milroy,
descendant of the Palyku people of the Pilbara region of Western Australia and Professor of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry, Robert Ramjan, Chair of Psychosis Australia, The Healing Foundation, and Professor
Peter O’Mara, Wiradjuri man and Professor of Indigenous Medical Education.

Training Providers wishing to have their activities accredited by the GPMHSC will need to include a minimum
of two of the following 15 recommendations in each of their activities to remain accredited.

Training Providers will be given 18 months from January 2026 to implement their chosen recommendations.

Training Providers are advised to follow the principles and guidance described in Working Together:
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mental Health Wellbeing Principles and Practice.

  • You can find a full list of the recommendations here
  • Once you have submitted your 26–28 re-accreditation form, complete the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recommendations application form found here.
    • If you believe your activity already meets 2 of the recommendations, provide that information in the form
    • If your activity does not meet the recommendations, provide details around which 2 you plan to implement and how
    • The GPMHSC will then review your application and provide approval via a letter of outcome
