Divisions of General Practice are local networks of GPs formed with the aim of enhancing General Practice and improving health outcomes for patients. The establishment of the Divisions was endorsed in July, 1992 by the General Practice Consultative Committee, (AMA, RACGP and Commonwealth Government). Divisions of General Practice aim to improve health care by increasing interaction among General Practitioners and encouraging their collective contribution to the development of health policy, and to improve the quality and access of health service delivery. Divisions provide the focal point for communication between GPs, the Community and other Health Providers. This liaison minimises professional isolation for GPs and ensures better integration of General Practice with other areas of the health care system. It assists GPs to provide quality, flexible services, addressing the current health needs of all community groups. Divisions also provide access to GP education programs.
