What is a General Practitioner?

Your local GP (General Practitioner) is usually the first person you go to if you have a health issue. They can coordinate your health care and look after you through your whole life.

 

GPs are specialist doctors who have completed training in general practice. In some countries this is known as family medicine.

 

GPs complete 10 - 15 years of medical education before they can work independently as GPs. This includes a medical degree, internship and specialist training in the hospital and community.

GPs have a holistic approach with broad knowledge and skills.

GPs can manage all physical and mental health issues you may have throughout your life. 

 

Your GP will decide whether you should see another health professional. They can refer you to a medical specialist or an allied health professional if you need specialised care.

 

Australians see GPs more than any other health professional. They are the most accessible part of our healthcare system.
