What are the GP of the Year Awards?

The GP of the Year awards have been created to salute the dedication of general practitioners across Australia and to recognise excellence within general practice. The awards provide a wonderful opportunity for you, your patients and your peers to celebrate general practice and the doctors who work in this field. At the same time, the GP of the Year awards give all doctors the chance to be recognised in the community, help improve the profile of general practice and win prizes. All awards require nomination, and will be assessed by the Awards Committee of the RACGP Council. This is your opportunity to nominate the doctors you believe are ambassadors for the profession - people who provide a high level of excellence in patient care.
