General Practice
General practice is the first point of contact that a patient has with their healthcare system. In Australia, general practice provides primary care for the vast majority of patients. General practitioners are qualified to provide comprehensive medical care, including diagnosing and treating acute illnesses and chronic conditions.
Working in a healthcare team, they promote, prevent, and initiate treatment for chronic illnesses and keep people as healthy as possible to remain independent. In addition, by caring for our most anxious patients’ physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being, GPs reduce the anxiety of our most vulnerable individuals when it comes time to leave home again. They also work closely with family doctors to ensure all of their needs are met.
