THE WEST VIC DIVISION OF GENERAL PRACTICE IS A FULLY ACCREDITED DIVISION

Our Mission

To support General Practice to deliver the best care to improve the health of our community.

What is the West Vic Division of General Practice?

Divisions of General Practice were formed to assist GPs in addressing local health issues and to provide a supportive network across Australia to share resources and knowledge. Our projects and programs are designed specifically for our local GPs (with GP input) and their practice staff to help improve the health of the local community. Divisions are groupings of GPs in a geographical area. The West Vic Division supports 34 general practices in the townships of Ararat, Horsham, Maryborough Stawell, Beaufort, Birchip, Casterton, Coleraine, Dimboola, Donald, Dunkeld, Edenhope, Jeparit, Kaniva, Murtoa, Natimuk, Nhill, Rupanyup, St Arnaud and Warracknabeal.

How is the Division Run?

The Division, although predominantly funded by the Department of Health and Ageing, is an independent organisation governed by local GPs. Present member's of the Board are:

• Dr Danie de Villiers - Maryborough (Chair) Dr Chris Wimbury - Horsham ( Treasurer) Dr David Tynan - Marybrough Dr Greta Prozesky - Casterton/Coleraine Dr Mark Deary - Ararat Mr Len Anderson - Maryborough (non GP Board Member) Mr Mark Stratmann - Hamilton (non GP Board Member)

How are local GPs Involved in the Division?

Board members - The Board are responsible to the GP members for the governance of the Division. The Board sets the strategic direction by identifying goals for the organisation and monitors the performance of the Division as it works towards achieving its strategic goals. The united voice of the GPs in the Division is a powerful influence on regional and federal health bureaucrats. The Board meets monthly.
