Q: What is AGPAL and how does it relate to me?
A: AGPAL accredits general practices in Australia. All practices accredited with AGPAL are assessed against standards provided by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. These standards can be accessed at www.racgp.org.au and are now in their third edition. The standards are developed by the RACGP in consultation with general practitioners Australia wide. The federal government offers a Practice Incentive Payment (PIP) for accredited practices. Click here for more information on the PIP.
Q: Someone told me I have to keep emails for years now. Is that true? How?
A: Yes, it's terribly true. Electronic documents are considered as valid as the paper variety and must now be stored for the same amount of time.
Q: What is a static IP address and why do I HAVE to have one?
A: A static IP address is similar to a telephone number. Rather than a dynamic IP which changes your number each time you connect to the internet, a static IP maintains the same number making it possible to host your own email services. It also allows for remote access for you to connect to your network and allows for remote support.
