GP Clinical Council

Our GP Clinical Council (GPCC) serves as an advisory body to our Board.

GPCC represents general practitioners in our four local government areas in our region. They focus on advising the Board on:

  • strategies to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities through the provision of high-quality, accessible and integrated primary healthcare.
  • strategies to address issues facing GPs, including consideration of the unique needs in different communities within the region.

An important part of GPCC’s role is to advise on decision-making at the practice level to strengthen the support provided to GPs in their day-to-day work. Members discuss issues in relation to health pathways, hospitals, aged care facilities, workforce, GP education and training and more.  

GPCC meets up to six times per year. More detail on the role and purpose of the GPCC is detailed in the Terms of Reference.
