RACGP membership matters – to you and to the Australian community
There’s strength in numbers, and strength is what Australian general practice needs right now.
As an RACGP member, you can add your voice to the chorus demanding change for a sustainable, world-class general practice. We’ll make sure that voice is heard in the media, among the general public and at all levels of government.
The RACGP is your professional community, united by a shared commitment to delivering quality healthcare to all Australians. Joining the RACGP community gives you the support you need to achieve your long-term career goals, continue your professional development and maintain your own personal wellbeing.
With the new CPD triennium kicking off in 2023, the college will also be your CPD home. You’ll have access to the support you need to meet the new Medical Board of Australia requirements and enjoy a career of lifelong learning.
This is an exciting year to join, or continue to be part of, the RACGP. For the first time in decades, our government is committed to strengthening Medicare and general practice. We are leading advocacy for GPs and have already achieved significant wins for our members and Australian patients, including $2.2 billion to strengthen Medicare. We successfully returned general practice training to the college and welcomed strong applications for GP training. As the largest medical college, representing urban, rural and remote GPs, we’ll be your champion and support, so you can get on with the job you love.
GPs are the beating heart of Australia’s health system. Without a healthy general practice, the whole system suffers. We know you’re making a difference in the lives of your patients and your communities every day, all across the country. We know what you need, and we’ll be out there every day advocating for you and for the general practice profession.
Join the RACGP or renew your membership today to stand together for quality care – for everyone.
