There will be changes to the MQAP program in 2025. Please check the website for updates.
The Mammography Quality Assurance Program (MQAP) provides quality assurance assessment for mammography sites. Participation is open to private medical imaging practices, and medical imaging departments of public and private hospitals. The MQAP has been declared under Commonwealth Qualified Privilege.
Quality control and quality assurance testing requirements are documented in the RANZCR MQAP Resources for Radiographers and MQAP Resources for Equipment Assessors below.
The Mammography Quality Assurance Program is currently going through some changes as we are transitioning to an online portal. To facilitate these changes, we will be halting re-accreditation submissions, 1st annual reviews and 2nd annual reviews. We will only be accepting accreditation submissions for new machines during this period. Please note, your machine will be accredited during this time. Should we require anything from your site we will be in contact with you directly.
For details of current fees relating to MQAP see College Fees page.
Practices wishing to participate in the MQAP need to complete the application form and return to the College. The practice will then be invoiced.
