ABOUT GPSA
GPSA serves as Australia’s primary organization for GP/RG supervisors and training practices, representing approximately 10,000 members.
We support supervision in its various forms, prioritizing support for supervisors, practice managers, and training practices developing future general practitioners (GPs) and rural generalists (RGs).
Through active engagement with our members, we advocate for enhanced training conditions, emphasizing sustainability and professional fulfillment as pivotal factors in providing best practice supervision and attracting more doctors to General Practice.
GPSA is committed to fostering the enthusiasm that propels the GP training sector forward, offering service, support, research, innovation, education, and advocacy.
GPRA Ltd trading as General Practice Supervision Australia (GPSA) receives Commonwealth funding for specific AGPT grant activities.
These four words encapsulate what GPSA stands for. These are the core values that have guided the organisation through growth and change, challenge and celebration, and will continue to do so into the future.
If our values are the “how”… The “what” of GPSA’s mission can be described as striving to nurture the passion that drives the GP training sector through service, support, research, innovation, education and advocacy.
The “why” of GPSA’s VISION is the singular goal we work towards tirelessly: to be the voice of a thriving GP training sector that is united, suitably recognised, rewarded, and respected as the cornerstone of this nation’s healthcare system.
