General Practice Network Leadership Group

The General Practice Network Leadership Group (GPNLG) has been established to enable joint planning and strategy development between each State and Territory State Based Organisation (SBO) and the Australian General Practice Network (AGPN) with the aim of building the strength and capacity of the Divisions Network across Australia.

General Practice Tasmania is a member of the GPNLG together with the other seven State and Territory Organisations and AGPN. 

The functions of the GPNLG are to:

  • Provide a forum through which issues of strategic interest or concern to the Divisions Network and their constituencies can be put forward and discussed;
  • Develop agreed strategies and mechanisms to advocate for change and to progress and/or resolve issues;
  • Identify and act on opportunities to build capacity and improve performance across the network with particular emphasis on activities that support agreed strategic priorities;
  • Act as a leadership team to develop and present a professional and consistent approach to all levels of government;
  • Provide a forum for knowledge sharing and collaborative effort between the States, Territories and AGPN on issues of mutual interest;
  • To collaborate on developing and progressing directions for the whole Network; and
  • Provide advice to AGPN Board and the Department of Health and Ageing as required on matters of strategic interest to the Network.


The flow and exchange of information and resources between GPNLG members is ongoing and not limited to scheduled meetings. Matters of simple communication and information sharing are generally to be dealt with out of session.
