COURSE ACCREDITATIONS:

The Advanced Courses count towards ongoing mental health requirement points for doctors already credentialed to use the Focussed Psychological Strategies (FPS) with Medicare Australia. The R.A.C.G.P only guarantees point allocation when both the participants and the convener comply with R.A.C.G.P requirements.
