ABOUT US - General Practice Involvement

The Division actively encourages and enables General Practice  involvement in a range of activities. GPs and practice staff are welcome to express an interest in participating at any time. The Division is keen to hear GPs and practices regarding specific interests and issues of concern.

If you would like to play a more active role in the Division please contact  the or ph 6208 7300.

Liaison, communication and representation

The Division actively creates networks between general practice and other organisations of relevance to primary care. These networks serve to provide a general practice perspective to planning and service delivery at a local, state and national level.

The Division regularly seeks interested GPs and practice staff to represent the Division on working groups and committees. The Division's representative will be fully briefed prior to participation and asked to provide feedback to the Division, and potentially a report or newsletter article to disseminate issues to their peers. Representation time is remunerated.

Governance, advice, planning and evaluation

The Division’s Board of Directors comprises 7 elected GP members and 2 non-GP Independent Associate Members. Any GP member may stand for a Board vacancy at the time of the AGM.

A Division Advisory Panel provides an additional means by which the Board is kept informed of key issues affecting general practice.

The Division's programs are guided by general practice advisors and Reference Groups. As needs arise, the Division may call together GPs or practice staff for a focus group to gain specific guidance on an issue of concern or Division planning.
