About gmGPn
What are Divisions of General Practice?
Divisions of General Practice were established in 1992 in response to the General Practice Reform Strategy.
GPs were invited to form networks (Divisions) of which there are now approximately 111 Australia wide.
By networking with other GPs, Service Providers and the wider Community, GPs are better equipped to deal with the increasing complexities and changes in primary care.
