The BDDGP supports a team approach to health care through the Development of partnerships, more integrated services, identification of needs and enhancements of the skills of health professionals."
The Bendigo and District Division is a small but robust entity situated in the fast growing regional centre of Bendigo, Victoria.
Bendigo and district is home of Bendigo Bank, ADI, two prisons and many other large employers. With both a public and a private hospital in Bendigo, a wide range of medical services is offered. It boasts excellent educational facilities with Girton Grammar, Bendigo Senior Secondary School and Castlemaine Secondary College and the Castlemaine Steiner School in the district as well as La Trobe University.
Bendigo is the main centre for a much larger rural population who shop, access health services and work within its boundaries. As such, the Division's catchment is much larger than the set boundaries of its grant.
The Division works towards strengthening General Practitioner's capacity to be the gatekeepers to the rest of the primary healthcare sector through collaborative, innovative and sustainable initiatives and whole of practice support. |
