Health Minister Meegan Fitzharris has announced an independent review into ACT Health's culture after months of pressure around bullying allegations.

The government has stopped short of implementing a full board of inquiry, as called for by the Canberra Liberals and the Australian Medical Association.

Despite labelling the call by the Opposition health spokeswoman Vicki Dunne a political stunt just weeks ago, Ms Fitzharris denied Monday's announcement was a policy reversal.

Just who will conduct the review is yet to be announced, but the minister said she wanted a report back in six months.

Earlier Monday, the peak body for doctors in the ACT called for the territory equivalent of a royal commission into the workplace culture of Canberra's health system, citing a "litany of missteps, maladministration, bullying complaints" over the past year.
