General Practice
Health of the Nation
2026 survey

Our Health of the Nation survey is now closed. Thank you to our members who participated, you have provided valuable insight that will help shape RACGP’s advocacy for general practice.

This nationwide survey informs our General practice: Health of the Nation report which plays a pivotal role in our advocacy for our members and their patients.

This year’s topic is ‘General Practice at the heart of a thriving health system’.

Members who’ve completed the survey have access to a new reflective CPD activity on the topic of interest for the Health of the Nation survey. This activity is available here.

Stay tuned for future Health of the Nation 2026 updates, including the report!
