We foster the future of general practice through our profession-led, community-based training model for the Australian General Practice Training Program and other training pathways.

We train GPs to deliver quality, whole-person care to patients across Australia, support their ongoing professional development and provide a point of connection for GPs serving communities in every corner of the country.
