Practice vacancy ad request form
Practice for sale formGeneral practices and individual health practitioners will be receiving emails from SWSPHN in the coming weeks in relation to our new General Practice Census and the new process for Antenatal Shared Care providers retaining their program registration.
General Practice Census
The General Practice Census will this year replace our annual update of general practice profiles and practice staff profiles, which provide the invaluable information we use to deliver quality support tailored to your practice’s specific needs.
The General Practice Census is made up of a practice-wide survey followed by a health practitioner survey.
The practice-wide survey will be emailed to each practice’s primary contact (usually your practice manager) tomorrow (Thursday, 1 August). It will include a link which is unique to each practice.
We encourage you to complete your practice-wide survey in August. This will ensure we have the most up-to-date list of health practitioners working at your practice when we send a second survey to your GPs, GP registrars and practice nurses in September.
Again, individual health practitioners will receive a link to a unique survey.
Why: This ‘snapshot’ will enable us to identify factors which influence the recruitment and retention of primary care providers in our region, and future challenges, like an ageing workforce. You will also be ensuring we have the reliable data we need to tailor training programs to fill gaps in workforce knowledge and skills, and to advocate for increased funding and improved healthcare infrastructure in our region.

Antenatal Shared Care (ANSC) audit
A new registration renewal process for ANSC providers starts in August and GPs wanting to retain their registration as an ANSC provider must still complete three hours of eligible CPD and now also complete a short, online form by 31 October 2024.
ANSC providers will be emailed a link to a unique online registration renewal form seeking confirmation you want to remain an ANSC provider.
You will be asked if you want to remain an ANSC provider for 2024-2025, declare you have completed three hours of eligible CPD since 1 November 2023 and accept the terms of being a ANSC provider.
You will receive your unique link in early August, giving you time to complete your renewal form before the General Practice Census health practitioner survey link is emailed in September. The form will only take three minutes to complete.
Why: SWSPHN and SWSLHD developed the new registration renewal process to support ANSC providers in delivering optimum care to patients by ensuring consistent professional development and enabling GPs to more easily track their CPD hours over one, rather than three years.
