For GPs: 

The Division hosts a discussion group meeting for GPs with a special interest in youth health. 

For young people: 

The Division builds relationships with youth health service providers. In particular, providing advice and support where appropriate to Pulse (Glenorchy) and The Link (Hobart) Youth Health Services. Aspects of youth health are also incorporated into other programs across the Division (eg Mental Health Program, Women & Children’s Health Program)
