All training sites previously accredited to deliver JCCA training were automatically accredited to deliver the RGA training until the end of 2024. Most sites have now received RGA accreditation, or did not wish to pursue this in 2025. Ongoing accreditation remains subject to posts continuing to meet their required levels and quality of supervision, reporting and support. The standards for RGA accreditation can be found in the RGA Accreditation Handbook.
Any training site previously accredited to deliver JCCA training which is not currently accredited for RGA training is advised to contact [email protected] if they wish to apply for accreditation as an RGA training site in the future.

Applying for Rural Generalist Anaesthesia training site accreditation
Accreditation is the process by which a credible, external body objectively assesses the best practice principles of a training site to implement Rural Generalist Anaesthesia training and provide assurance that it produces graduates that are competent to practise safely and effectively as specialist practitioners.
The RGA Accreditation Sub-committee implements the policies and procedures endorsed by the Tripartite Committee of Rural Generalist Anaesthesia and ANZCA Council in relation to the accreditation of approved sites for rural generalist anaesthesia. Accreditation is granted following routine inspections which normally occur as part of a five-yearly cycle to ensure sites meet the required standards found in the RGA Accreditation Handbook.
