Back-up GP coverage when primary GPs are unavailable

Partnering with GPAC-N: Reliable GP Care for Aged Care Facilities
GPAC-N (General Practice Aged Care Network) is a growing national practice-like service supporting a new way of delivering general practice services in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs). We connect traditional GP Practices and Solo-GPs with aged care homes to ensure residents receive consistent, patient-centred medical care.
Our mission is to become the go-to partner for RACFs across Australia, providing a coordinated, sustainable, and high-trust GP service model that improves care outcomes and reduces the administrative burden for facilities.
How We Partner with RACFs
GPAC-N works alongside facility managers, clinical leads, and nursing teams to:
Coordinate regular GP visit schedules
Ensure clear lines of communication between GPs and RACF staff
Support shared care plans and multidisciplinary case conferences
We act as both the patient’s clinical support partner and want to add value to your team, ensuring your facility receives both responsive care and long-term planning continuity.
Benefits to Your Facility
Experienced, Clinically-Led GP Oversight
Your residents are cared for by experienced GPs who specialise in aged care. Our doctors provide regular, structured onsite visits — ensuring clinical leadership, continuity, and a proactive approach to managing chronic and complex conditions.
A Network of Dedicated GPs — Not a Call Centre
GPAC-N is not a telehealth and nurse facilitated model. Our strength lies in our national network of GPs who deliver face-to-face care supported by technology, but not replaced by it. We prioritise consistent, personal relationships between GPs, residents, and facility staff.
Bulk Billing and Better Resident Outcomes
All consultations are fully bulk billed, ensuring no out-of-pocket costs for residents or facilities. Our GP-led, team-based care model — including planned follow-ups and coordination — drives measurable improvements in resident wellbeing and care continuity.
