The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, the organisation that sets the education and practice standards for Australia’s 25 000 GPs, has developed this magazine to bring you accurate, informative and appropriate information about your health. Our magazine will bring you the best up to date, credible information that will help you – and help your GP to help you – to achieve and maintain better health. We will look at a range of topics including diet, exercise, and the usual suspects of alcohol, non-prescription drugs, and smoking, along with a wide range of other health issues.

Men's road to healthy living
The first edition focuses on men’s preventive health in line with the M5 Project; a dedicated new movement that aims to break down the barriers that prevent Australian men from going to see a GP. Did you know that in Australia more than 5 men die every hour from potentially preventable illnesses? Men die about 5 years younger than women and have a higher death rate than women from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, accidents and suicide. And guess what? Men are much less likely to visit a GP than women!
