The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.
"The thing I like most about working as a GP is the diversity of my patients and different narratives my patients present."
"Having a conversation with my patients in addition to a consultation is my philosophy when it comes to general practice."
Doctors are the foundation of a good health system and GPs are usually your first port of call when you are sick. A GP not only helps you get better, they can also help keep healthy people well by practising preventive medicine.
GPs who have obtained the highest level of training and specialise in general practice are Fellows of The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP). As a patient, when you choose a Fellow as your GP, you can be assured your health is in the best of hands and you will receive excellent care.
You deserve a GP who suits your individual needs. Forming a trusting relationship with a highly-trained professional is the best safeguard of your ongoing health.
The Australian Government administers Medicare, which subsidises healthcare for all Australians. Your GP can help explain how Medicare billing will impact you.
