Sponsoring the GPSA Community

GPSA is a unique organisation – a healthcare sector conduit that focuses on exceptional outcomes for professionals whose work supervising and employing trainee general practitioners (GPs) and rural generalists (RGs) is essential to the continuation of primary healthcare across the country.

As the national representative or “peak” body for GP training, we campaign for respect and recognition of high quality supervision in the GP clinical environment through open and accountable advocacy.

We regularly consult with Commonwealth and State/Territory governments, as well as other significant bodies in the sector. Last year, GPSA advocated on a range of topical issues affecting GP supervision, to influence key policy and decision makers for the benefit of training practice owners, supervisors and GP / RG training in general. Through our stakeholder engagement, GPSA has become a trusted advocate on a range of issues, providing effective and considered submissions across several policy and advocacy platforms.

GPSA is committed to evidence-based practice through research, innovation and continuous review. Our research agenda is nimble and responsive to the priorities of our members and the GP training sector, enabling us to pivot our focus across evidence-based advocacy, policy, education and a broad range of resources as the environmental context changes. Alongside our members, we also partner with universities, sector stakeholders and policy makers to expand our work in the GP/RG training space.
