Our story

Established in 1974 and operating as an autonomous organisation since 2001, General Practice Registrars Australia (GPRA) is the national independent voice of future GPs.

We believe that by strengthening the future of general practice, we will see improved health for all Australians.

Our almost 20,000 members are the future GP workforce and they reflect every stage of the journey to becoming a GP. We represent:

  • Medical students
  • Junior doctors
  • GPs in training (all GP Specialist pathways)
  • New Fellows.

General practice is the backbone of our healthcare system and we provide Australia’s next generation of GPs with support, advice and resources.

We support our members by:

Negotiating the National Terms and Conditions for the Employment of Registrars (NTCER)
Advocating on educational, training, employment and policy issues in general practice
Providing advice on employment negotiations and training matters
Strengthening general practice’s appeal through communications, peer support and networks and professional leadership
Delivering events for networking, further education, wellbeing and professional development
Assisting with exam preparation and education support (all pathways)
Providing special member-only services and discounts with partner organisations.
