The invaluable contributions of general practice to Australia's COVID-19 pandemic response

The Australian public has benefited greatly from the manifold contributions of general practice throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Australia’s general practitioners (GPs) and members of their teams have made essential and valued contributions to the health and wellbeing of the population at this time of national emergency. GPs have demonstrated their flexibility and adaptability to ensure continuation of access to primary care services and local availability of key population health measures, including testing, vaccinations and treatments.
