Results of the 2006-07 Annual Survey of Divisions (ASD)

The Primary Health Care Research and Information Service (PHC RIS) conducts the Annual Survey of Divisions (ASD) on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. As part of their contractual obligations, all Divisions of General Practice are required to complete the Survey which includes questions about their membership, activities (including population health) and infrastructure for the previous financial year. Consequently, the results provide a comprehensive overview of Divisions and summarise the broad range of activities that they are involved in.

Feedback to Divisions

Once Divisions submit the ASD, PHC RIS collates, checks and analyses these data. Upon completion of this process, each Division is provided with a confidential report summarising their responses. Divisions were sent a copy of their 2006-07 summary report on 10 December 2007.

Divisions were invited to check their report and inform PHC RIS of any data errors or anomalies. For the 2006-07 data, approximately 20% of Divisions advised us of changes; a final updated report was then sent to respective Division's CEOs and Boards on 17 January 2008.
