What is in the pack

Eight files. Print today, or edit first.

Accreditation

Poster — Our practice is being accredited today

Survey-day poster for reception and the waiting room: what surveyors do, that the practice is open as usual, that privacy is protected, and that patients may be asked for feedback.

Accreditation

Poster — Working towards accreditation

For the months before the survey. Tells patients what accreditation means for them and asks for feedback through your patient feedback forms.

Patient feedback

Poster — You said, we did

The feedback board surveyors look for as evidence that patient feedback is collected, analysed and acted on. Five rows, update quarterly.

Patient safety

Poster — 3-point patient identification check

Full name, date of birth, address — and why we ask. For reception, treatment rooms and the pathology collection point.

Staff safety

Poster — Zero tolerance for aggressive behaviour

What the practice will not tolerate and what happens if it occurs. Pair it with your aggression-management policy and duress procedure.

Reception

Sign — Please confirm your details

Counter sign that gives reception permission to ask and patients a reason to answer: name, date of birth, address, Medicare, next of kin, language, allergies.

After hours

Sign — After-hours care arrangements

Emergency, nurse advice line, your after-hours GP service and nearest emergency department — the same wording as your phone message and website.

After hours

After-hours phone message — recording script

Three scripts (standard, short, public holiday), recording notes, key numbers and the implementation checklist. Read it, record it, test it from a mobile.

Every file carries [bracketed] placeholders instead of a practice name, address or phone number. Replace them before printing. Outside Victoria, swap Nurse-on-Call for healthdirect 1800 022 222.

About the pack

Questions people ask about it.

Are these really free?

Yes. Enter your name, practice and email, and every file unlocks — PDF for printing and Word for editing. We ask for the email because we want to know who is using them, and because Jamal will send one follow-up offering the free on-site audit. No mailing list, no drip campaign.

Can we put our own logo and name on them?

That is the point. Every file has [PRACTICE NAME], [Address], [Phone] and similar placeholders. Open the Word version, replace the brackets, add your logo, print. The PDF is there for practices that just want to write the details in by hand and print today.

Do these satisfy the RACGP Standards on their own?

No. A sign is the visible part of a system. The 3-point identification poster needs reception actually asking; the you-said-we-did poster needs a feedback process behind it; the zero tolerance poster needs a policy and a duress procedure. Surveyors ask about the system. The posters are the evidence it exists, not a substitute for it.

Where are the training manuals and Best Practice templates?

Those are client materials. Samples of the Bp Premier Reference Manual, the practice manager checklists and the MBS cheat sheet are on the Best Practice page, and the full library comes with an engagement.

The signage is the easy part. The system behind it is what we build.

A free two-to-three-hour on-site audit tells you exactly which systems the surveyors will ask about and which ones are missing.
