Benefits of becoming a GPSA member

GPSA is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program. This enables stronger policy and advocacy work based on solid research. We are currently undertaking research into the business case for supervision for example which will provide important information about supervision. As members we will continue to represent the needs of Supervisors and Practices – including negotiating the National Terms and Conditions Agreement, and ensuring the continued viability of supervision. We have developed useful resources – such as: Best practice Guide to Supervision; Team leadership in General Practice; Identifying and Supporting GP Registrars at Risk, Identifying and Supporting GP Supervisors in Difficulty and many others. GPSA also run a series of highly relevant webinars. As well as research and training, GPSA produces a newsletter every six weeks, keeping members informed with the latest news and information. All memberships are free of cost.
