All Indigenous GP trainees are invited to be a part of IGPTN — it is free to join.

The Indigenous General Practice Trainee Network (IGPTN) is a network for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GP trainees to provide professional and cultural support to one another.

We exist to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to become General Practitioners (GPs).

By working to increase the representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GPs, the IGPTN positively contributes to:

  • Improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
  • Promoting a health system responsive to patient needs, including increasing the comfort of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people when seeking medical assistance
  • Promoting positive role models to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people
  • Training and workforce equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GPs
