The
General Practice in Aged Care Incentive (GPACI) encourages regular GP
attendance, structured care planning and improved continuity elements
that are increasingly vital as resident needs become more complex.
A key strength of the
program is its emphasis on collaboration. Strong, reliable communication
between RACHs and GP practices helps ensure that residents
receive timely reviews, follow‑up and preventative care. When
workflows are aligned, both providers and residents benefit from
smoother processes and clearer expectations.
Many RACHs, however, still face challenges when residents do not have a regular GP. If you have
residents without a consistent primary care provider, or if you're experiencing difficulty securing GP support, we welcome you to
reach out. While we cannot guarantee GP availability, we can communicate your
needs to interested GPs and encourage them to contact you
directly.
