Unlike some other specialties, General Practice in Australia and New Zealand is governed by two separate colleges, both of which set training and practice standards for General Practice; The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM). In New Zealand, it is The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP).
