It’s a critical time for general practice advocacy and the RACGP’s new Advocacy Plan ensures we focus on what matters most to members.   

Australia’s primary care sector is undergoing significant reform, including the Federal Government’s Strengthening Medicare and Scope of Practice Review. 

There’s never been a more important time for the RACGP to advocate strongly and consistently for your profession and patients. 

Our Advocacy Plan was developed collaboratively by national, state and territory faculties, expert committees and informed by member insights from our regular advocacy surveys. 

Strong advocacy is central to the RACGP’s mission to improve the health and wellbeing of all people in Australia by supporting GPs, registrars and medical students to provide excellent patient care and community service. 

We know members want the RACGP to be a strong advocate for their profession – 96% of members said advocacy is important in our 2023 member survey. 

• Our advocacy plan will: 
  • provide clarity and transparency on our advocacy priorities for members 
  • empower members to get involved in our advocacy and let us know if something is missing 
  • enable effective reporting on our advocacy efforts to ensure accountability.
