The aim of the Divisions Achievement Awards is to recognise Divisions for their achievements in everyday Divisional activities. The Divisions Achievement Awards are an opportunity to celebrate excellence and innovation and encourage on-going improvements in Divisions in their delivery of primary care services.
The 2003 Divisions Achievement Awards were awarded for recent activity (undertaken within the past 2 years) in each of the following categories:
1. Promoting Divisions
2. Consumer Engagement
3. Innovation
4. GP Engagement
5. Collaboration/Integration

The Awards were presented at the Divisions of General Practice Network Forum on 20-23 November 2003 in Brisbane. Click here to read about this year's finalists.
