GP partners Adelaide as a General Practitioner member based organisation is positioned to serve its members now and well into the future. This has been achieved though the successful negotiation and implementation of both established and new commercial arrangements with a range of external contractors including SA Health and the Central Adelaide and Hills Medicare Local.

Through these arrangements GP partners Adelaide is reinforced in its commitment to increasing value, relevance and indispensability in the support role our members within General Medical Practice expect.

Whilst other similar organisations across South Australia have commenced or are about to commence winding up, GP partners Adelaide is here for the long term to provide general practice with quality support services covering many different areas including ongoing education and training, service collaboration and coordination, IT/IM support and practice accreditation amongst many other services our Members have confirmed are meeting their needs.

GP partners Adelaide is guided by the following values:

• We put our General Practice community first;
• We achieve through teamwork, partnerships and sharing of knowledge;
• We value respect and integrity;
• We recognise tradition but embrace change;
• We represent, support, and celebrate the diversity of general practice, and
• We strive for innovation and excellence.

New Members Welcome

GP partners Adelaide would be delighted to welcome membership applications from eligible General Practitioners from across South Australia where the local Division of General Practice has come to an end.

The Central Adelaide and Hills Medicare Local, in collaboration with GP partners Adelaide, Healthfirst Network, and the Adelaide Hills Division of General Practice, is undertaking a Needs Assessment project in relation to After Hours primary care, to help inform the planning and funding of local face-to-face after hours services. The aim of the Australian Government’s reforms to after hours primary care is to provide all Australians, regardless of where they live, with accessible and effective after hours primary care services. Input is being sought from both the community and health care provider perspectives.
