We pay our deepest respects to Ancestors and Elders who watch over us and guide us.

We are honoured to announce Dr Simone Raye as IGPTN Patron. 🖤
Throughout the journey of IGPTN, Dr Simone Raye has been a respected leader, advocate and valued member of our community.
As former Chair of IGPRN, a proud Bardi/Jabirr Jabirr woman, 2025 NT GP of the Year, former President of AIDA, and representative on numerous state and national committees, Dr Raye has made significant contributions to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, general practice, and medical education.
For more than two decades, she has championed cultural safety, challenged racism in healthcare and training, and supported the growth and success of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors across Australia.
Dr Raye has also been a longstanding supporter of IGPTN, actively contributing to workshops, mock exams and trainee development as both an IGPTN Fellow and RACGP Medical Educator. Through her mentorship, leadership and generosity, she has helped support many of our members throughout their training journey.
While Dr Raye has long advocated for our members, her patronage formally recognises the support, leadership and advocacy she continues to provide. We look forward to her ongoing role in championing the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander GP trainees and Fellows, and to the benefit our members will continue to gain from her influence, experience and voice across the many professional and leadership spaces in which she serves.
We thank Dr Raye for her continued commitment to IGPTN and are honoured to welcome her as our Patron. 🙌 ...
