AGPAL is inviting passionate and experienced healthcare professionals to join our contracted assessor workforce and contribute to a significant national healthcare initiative. If you’re a clinician, nurse, or practice manager with strong experience in emergency or urgent care, this is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in strengthening access to urgent care services nationwide.

As part of the Independent Clinical Assessment (ICA) process, undertaken on behalf of the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, you’ll help provide independent assurance that Medicare Urgent Care Clinics (UCCs) meet the operational requirements outlined in the Medicare UCC Operational Guidance. It’s important to note that the ICA is an assurance activity, not an accreditation process.

If you’re ready to use your skills to support this national initiative, we encourage you to apply today.
