Representing GPEx, Leanne March is heading to the Wild Health Conference – Prevention Pivot next week.

At GPEx, we see firsthand how prevention is often challenged by system pressures, workforce constraints, and competing priorities.

This summit brings together a strong mix of perspectives to explore practical, system-level solutions - from innovation to closing care pathway gaps.

We’re keen to be part of the conversation and connect with others working to strengthen prevention across the health system.

If you’re attending, we’d love to connect.

This National Reconciliation Week, GPEx acknowledges and honours the First Nations peoples of Australia and the knowledge and experience they contribute to healthcare.

We are committed to strengthening understanding, respect and meaningful partnerships, and to supporting a more inclusive, connected and equitable health system.

Today, on World Family Doctor Day, we honour the dedication, resilience and compassion of doctors all across Australia. Every consultation, every decision, every moment spent caring for patients contributes not just to individual wellbeing, but to the strength of our communities.

At GPEx, we work alongside doctors, offering tools, education and guidance to support their practice in an ever-evolving and challenging healthcare landscape. Together, we’re shaping a future where every patient has access to expert care and every doctor feels supported in their vital work.

Thank you to all doctors everywhere including our GPEx Medical Educators Dr Maya Luks and Dr Marny Royans. We appreciate your unwavering commitment, your expertise and the lasting impact you make each day.

From mid‑May, more Australians will be eligible to access a free RSV vaccine (Arexvy) via the National Immunisation Program.
