Divisions and SBO Profiles, including contact details
The Division Profiles page is a list of all Divisions of General Practice with a link for each to further details including contact details, a link to their website, some key characteristics, reports and more.
Similarly, the SBO Profiles page shows details for the State Based Organisations (SBOs).
NQPS Planning & Reporting on-line: now available
 Divisions and State Based Organisations (SBOs) can now use the on-line NQPS Planning and Reporting Component. This is part of the continual process to streamline the NQPS requirements associated with the Divisions Program. Further information about this project can be found at the Planning & Reporting Support pages. Login now!
Data sources for the Division Network and Primary Health Care have been assembled by our researchers and are available in a PHC RIS infoByte.
Annual Survey of Divisions
 The Annual Survey of Divisions (ASD) is a comprehensive survey conducted by PHC RIS each year to collect information from all Divisions in Australia about their membership, activities and infrastructure. We present these data as:
- Fast Facts
- Provide a quick snap shot of information, often illustrating longitudinal trends and state and RRMA analyses
- Based on information collected in the Annual Survey of Divisions since 1999
- ASD Reports
- Recently released: Making a difference. Report of the 2005-2006 Annual Survey of Divisions of General Practice
- Division Benchmarking Tool
- For those interested in knowing which Divisions of General Practice across Australia have the same demographic characteristics
- Division Key Characteristics
- A spreadsheet containing core Division information, e.g. number of practices and GPs in Divisions
- The spreadsheet also provides a longitudinal perspective, with the same information available from 2002-03
- Division Mapping Tool
- Designed to enable easy identification of Divisions conducting similar programs and activities
- Coming soon - an improved, more dynamic version
- On-line browsable Tables and Figures from recently published ASD reports
- Queries and specific data requests
- Unable to find the information you want?
- Unsure if the information you want is available?

Performance and Development Funding Pool
A Performance and Development Funding Pool was established in 2005 to build capacity and recognise performance across the Divisions Network.
Funding was made available to a total of $1.6 million in 2006 which was divided into two distinct pools:
- Pool A ($1.4 million) - projects of up to $100,000 to build capacity in the network; and
- Pool B ($200,000) - projects of up to $10,000 to build individual division/SBO capacity
A precise of all 'Pool A' projects and a summary of the 'Pool B' funding is available on the AGPN website
Contacting members of the Division Network
Current contact details for all Divisions of General Practice, including
