The role of GP in Australia

OSHCglobal - General practitioners (GPs) treat all common medical conditions and refer patients to hospitals and other medical services for urgent and specialist treatment. They focus on the health of the whole person combining physical, psychological and social aspects of care.

In Australia, the GP:
? is most likely the first point of contact in matters of personal health
? coordinates the care of patients and refers patients to other specialists
? cares for patients in a whole of person approach and in the context of their work, family and community
? cares for patients of all ages, sexuality, and disease categories
? cares for patients over a period of their lifetime
? provides advice and education on health care
? performs legal processes such as certification of documents or provision of reports in relation to motor transport or work accidents.
