Credentialling

Credentialling ensures endoscopists working in Australia meet rigorous national standards for training, competence and ongoing performance. GESA partners with key colleges to deliver recognition of training and recertification pathways that support patient safety and quality care. Explore the committees below to learn more about how these programs work and how to apply.

Conjoint Committee for the Recognition of Training in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (CCRTGE)

The Conjoint Committee for the Recognition of Training in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (CCRTGE) is a national body comprising representatives from the Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA), the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS).

Procedures currently assessed by the Committee are:
  • gastroscopy (adult and paediatric)
  • colonoscopy (adult and paediatric)
  • endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
  • endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
  • capsule endoscopy

The Committee comprises four physicians and four surgeons and is supported by GESA staff.

Recertification in Colonoscopy Conjoint Committee (RCCC)

The Recertification in Colonoscopy Conjoint Committee (RCCC) is a national body comprising representatives from the Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA), the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) and the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS).

The Committee oversees the Recertification in Colonoscopy Program, providing a formal framework for practitioners to maintain and demonstrate ongoing competence. Participants record procedures in an online logbook, which is reviewed every three years.

The program supports continuing professional development while promoting nationally recognised standards of quality, patient safety and clinical care.
