| About: |
| The Central Wheatbelt area of WA is the last area of Australia to have a Division of General Practice established. The Division covers an area of mostly wheat and sheep agricultural areas. Also fishing and tourism make up activities in the area.
The Central Wheatbelt area of WA is among the most under resourced areas in Australia with regard to Health Services. Along with much of rural Australia, the health problems in the area are very basic, with chronic shortages of GPs and other health professionals.
The Division aims to address the most basic issues to improve the health outcomes of the community. These include GP Workforce, and the chronic shortages in basic primary health services.
The Division also aims to provide a co-ordinated approach, working closely with key stakeholders, to improve the level of primary health care services, particularly GPs. This will form a foundation for a gradual improvement in health outcomes for the community.
