State Manager - Mr Chris Carter
Chair, WA General Practice Network State Committee - Dr Rachel Hammond
Established in 2005, WA General Practice Network is the state-based organisation (SBO) for the Divisions network in Western Australia – providing key support for the important work of Divisions / Networks of General Practice at the local level.
In providing this support, WA General Practice Network promotes the central role of Divisions / Networks of General Practice in primary health care by ensuring that key State stakeholders and Divisions work together in a supported environment.
Whilst still in the early phases of development, WA General Practice Network has strongly delivered on its core initial priorities of:
- Developing an effective communication network both within the WA network and with key stakeholders in State, Commonwealth and non-government health sectors;
- Delivering effective information, policy, and strategic engagement initiatives;
- Driving the development of a Primary Health Care framework for WA; and,
- Ensuring a voice for Primary Health Care in the redevelopment process of the Western Australian Health system.
WA General Practice Network is an unique model in the Australian General Practice Divisions / Networks sector – as an office of Australian General Practice Network, it blends national governance with State and local focus – integrating national, state and regional priorities.
