General Practitioners (GPs) are a vital part of our health care workforce. They play a major role, both individually and as part of multidisciplinary teams, in providing frontline care to people in our communities. GPs develop ongoing relationships with patients to provide holistic, continuous care across the different life stages that takes into account the broader context in which people live. This type of care is the cornerstone of Australia’s heath system.
