The RANZCR Standards of Practice & Accreditation Program is structured as follows:

Mammography Quality Assurance Program (MQAP)	MRI Accreditation  Registration Program	CT Clinical Image Self-Audit
CTCA Training Requirements

The RANZCR Standards of Practice & Accreditation Program is responsible for the development of the RANZCR Standards of Practice for Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology (currently Version 9.0), and develops and manages related quality assurance activities.  The Program oversees Practice Accreditation through the RANZCR/NATA Accreditation Program.

All practices are encouraged to use the RANZCR Accreditation Standards Version 7.0 and to participate in the quality assurance activities.  Practice participation in the quality assurance activities is currently voluntary, and is available whether or not a practice site wishes to obtain RANZCR/NATA Accreditation.

If a practice site seeks RANZCR/NATA Accreditation and provides Mammography, CT or MRI services, it will need to participate in the relevant program of activity as a condition of accreditation.

Sites that offer MRI services that are eligible for Medicare rebates are required by the Commonwealth Government to participate in the RANZCR’s MRI Accreditation Registration Program whether or not they participate in the full RANZCR/NATA Accreditation Program.
