The role of a GP in Australia.

OSHCOSHCstudents – The GP ( General Practitioner)  plays a central role in the delivery of health care to the Australian community.

 

 

In Australia, the GP:

  • coordinates the care of patients and refers patients to other specialists
  • cares for patients in a whole of person approach and in the context of their work, family and community
  • cares for patients of all ages, sexuality, and disease categories
  • cares for patients over a period of their lifetime
  • provides advice and education on health care
  • performs legal processes such as certification of documents or provision of reports in relation to motor transport or work accidents.
