Overview
Australia’s first national Principles on the role of general practitioners (GPs) in supporting work participation has been developed following extensive stakeholder consultation with GPs and health professionals, the disability sector, unions, employers, employees, benefits and income support providers and academics.
The Principles on the role of the GP in supporting work participation has been officially recognised as a Supported Position Statement by The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Led by the Australasian Faculty of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, the Principles provide clarity around roles and expectations of all stakeholders involved in supporting work engagement, recovery at and return to good work.
