During early consultations with the Divisions Network and the Aged Care Sector it became apparent that a specific Aged Care Network would be appreciated.  A directory of people who work in the aged care field who would be willing to share ideas and resources.  The specifics of the Network are yet to be fully determined and documented.  However, in the light of the Strengthening Medicare Aged Care GP Panels Initiatives it was considered important to begin networking the Divisions Network and the Aged Care Sector. To this purpose ADGP has constructed the following list of organisations and individuals who would like to be a part of the Aged Care Network.  They are the most  appropriate person / position to contact if requiring information relating to aged care programs being conducted or services offered.

If you would like to register your interest in the Aged Care Network or have suggestions regarding the network please contact Debbie Bampton at ADGP on (02) 6228 0821.
