Australia AMC Standards for Assessment and Accreditation of Primary Medical Programs (2023) 1.4: Medical program leadership and management: financial resources sufficient to sustain the program and directed to its purpose and requirements; a dedicated, clearly defined academic head with authority and responsibility for the program, supported by a leadership team with defined roles, authority, resources and expertise, including senior leadership responsible for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Maori health; qualification level assessed against national standards; and accurate, accessible program information for the public, applicants, students, staff and clinical supervisors

What does 1.4 require?

A program needs money, a leader and a team. The provider is funded well enough to keep the program running and directs that funding to its purpose and the program's requirements. A dedicated and clearly identified academic head is both empowered and accountable for running the program, supported by a leadership team whose members have dedicated and defined roles with appropriate authority, resources and expertise, and that team includes a senior leadership role or roles responsible for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Maori health with defined responsibilities and the authority and resources to carry them out. The provider assesses the level of qualification it awards against the relevant national qualification standards. Accurate and relevant information about the program, its policies and its requirements, including what is needed to deliver the program, can be found and read by the public, by applicants, by students and staff, and by the clinicians who supervise.
