Questions

Where do the NSQHS and RACGP questions come from?

Each question is drawn from the NSQHS Standards, second edition, and the RACGP Standards for general practices, and names the standard it comes from with a link to the regulator's own page. The facts were checked against safetyandquality.gov.au on 15 October 2026.

Does the score predict my NSQHS and RACGP accreditation decision?

No. The score shows where your evidence is strong and where it is thin, standard by standard, so you know what to work on first. NSQHS and RACGP decides the accreditation decision after its own assessment.

Does NSQHS and RACGP endorse this quiz or wai?

Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care and the RACGP registers and rates providers. It does not approve, certify or endorse software, wai included, and software cannot earn an accreditation decision on a provider's behalf. wai keeps the records your team uses to show NSQHS and RACGP how care is delivered, and NSQHS and RACGP decides the accreditation decision.

What happens to my answers?

Your answers are scored in your browser and stay there. They are sent to us only if you ask for the full report by email, and then only to write and send it.
