A Focus on Support and Planning for 2026

Happy 2026 to each of you! As we begin the year, it’s a timely reminder that risk is part of everyday life and practice, and something we all work to manage through thoughtful planning and informed decision-making. We are currently in the process of finalising our next five year strategic plan........

GPSA welcomes new training places in 2026

GPSA welcomes the commencement of additional GP training places in the Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) program, recognising this as a positive step toward strengthening the GP workforce.

Expanding training places is an important part of meeting future workforce needs and supporting access to general practice care for communities across Australia, including those in urban, regional, rural and remote settings.

Australia Day Honours

Congratulations to the GPs who were recognised in this year's honour list. A number of our GP Supervisor community members received an OAM.

The Certificate of AGPT Training Practice Management has been designed with time-poor practice teams in mind.

In just 4-6 hours, participants gain practical, essential knowledge across:

• Employment entitlements and NTCER
• Rostering and fatigue management
• Managing conflict and critical incidents
• Supporting registrars and students

This course is ideal for Practice Managers or administration staff who are new to GP training or looking to build confidence and reduce risk.
