GPDV provides representatives to external bodies in order to:

• Provide high quality representation of General Practice and divisions of General Practice to appropriate committees (including advisory committees, reference groups, working parties, management committees) and consultations.
• Provide input to other organisations regarding the views, capacities, priorities and needs of Victorian divisions of General Practice and their members, and in turn receive information and input about the policies and priorities of other stakeholders in primary health care.
• Build up GPs' skills and experience in high-level representation, negotiation and policy development, and thus to provide both a form of professional development and a potential component of a career path for Victorian members of divisions of GP.

GPDV will provide representatives for committees:

• Which are auspiced by a statewide body, or which have a statewide brief. (ADGP deals with the national level; divisions deal with the local level.)
• Which have a genuine need for GP/divisional input
• Whose aims and activities are in line with GPDV's strategic goals
