Roadmap Of Australian primary health care Research (ROAR)

ROAR includes information about primary health care research:

• Projects: records of current and recently completed primary health care research projects. Each record contains details of the research project: the title, description, researcher/s, organisation, funding source, and publications and presentations arising from the project.
• Profiles: information about researchers and their research interests.
• Organisations: links to research organisations across Australia, including: research centres, universities, academic departments of general practice, public health, population health, and schools of nursing.
• Funding: information about scholarships, fellowships, and grants for primary health care research.

Meet, network and share

We convene the annual GP & PHC Research Conference - a major event in Australian general practice and primary health care. The conference program focuses on research, methodology and policy issues, and provides the opportunity to build and maintain essential working relationships with Division of General Practice staff, researchers, practitioners, and policy advisors.

Contact details for all Divisions of General Practice, including links to their websites, are available in the Activities of Divisions Database.

What Divisions of General Practice are doing

The Annual Survey of Divisions (ASD) is a comprehensive survey conducted by PHC RIS each year to collect information from all Divisions in Australia about their membership, activities and infrastructure. We present these data as:

• Fast Facts
• Provide a quick snap shot of information, often illustrating longitudinal trends and state and RRMA analyses
• Based on information collected in the Annual Survey of Divisions since 1999
• ASD Reports
  • Recently released: Making a difference. Report of the 2005-2006 Annual Survey of Divisions of General Practice
• Division Benchmarking Tool
  • For those interested in knowing which Divisions of General Practice across Australia have the same demographic characteristics
• Division Key Characteristics
  • A spreadsheet containing core Division information, e.g. number of practices and GPs in Divisions
• The spreadsheet also provides a longitudinal perspective, with the same information available from 2002-03
• Division Mapping Tool
  • Designed to enable easy identification of Divisions conducting similar programs and activities
  • Coming soon - an improved, more dynamic version
