DHS Position Statement- Working with General Practice
In December 2007, the Victorian Minister for Health, Daniel Andrews launched Working with general practice. The position statement – a DHS-wide guide on how best to work with general practice – is the first of its kind by a state government and recognises that general practice is an essential part of the state’s health system. The statement was initiated by the Primary Care Branch of DHS and developed in close consultation with divisions.
The position statement and resource guide can be downloaded here.
