About the Divisions Network

Australian General Practice Network (AGPN) is the peak national body representing 118 Divisions of General Practice and eight stated-based organisations (SBOs) across Australia.  About 94% of GPs are members of a local Division of General Practice.

The Divisions Network is a primary cornerstone of Australia's primary health care system.  AGPN's key objective is to promote the health and well-being of Australians through Divisions of General Practice by:

• strengthening the effectiveness and vitality of the general practice sector by leading and supporting the Divisions Network
  
• advocating for, and representing the network to government, other organisations and the Australian public
  
• contributing to the development and implementation of national health policy in collaboration with Divisions and SBOs
  
• promoting cooperation and communication with other national organisations in Australia that are working towards excellence in primary health care and general practice
  
• providing national leadership in health system development
