GPR General Information

The General Practitioner Register (GPR) is an initiative of General Practice Divisions Victoria (GPDV), funded by the Victorian Department of Human Services and the Commonwealth Department of Health & Ageing. The GPR is a centralised repository of accurate information about general practitioners and the contact details for them at locations where they work. This is in response to a growing demand for accurate GP contact information for automated notifications and electronic discharge summaries.

The GPR is designed to facilitate continuity of care through faster and more accurate communications between hospitals and GPs.

The key objectives of the project are to provide:

• readily available General Practitioner information at minimum cost
• a central repository of state-wide GP information for electronic access and update
• easy access for authorised users through the Internet
• accuracy, security and integrity of data
• low on-going administrative costs.
