The update also highlights the release of a new National Model for Clinical Governance by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care. The model is designed to strengthen leadership, safety and quality across healthcare services, with new resources available to support implementation.

Meanwhile, the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing has launched new resources to help GPs support older Australians using the Support at Home program. The materials include information on referrals, reassessments, urgent care pathways and end-of-life support for eligible patients who wish to remain at home.

The Support at Home program replaced several previous aged care programs in late 2025 and aims to help older people stay healthy, independent and connected while living in their own homes.

GPs can also access upcoming professional development webinars covering key areas of patient care.

One session will focus on non-IgE mediated food allergies in infants, including cow’s milk protein allergy, food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome. The webinar will cover diagnosis, management and when specialist referral may be needed.

Another webinar will explore sexual wellbeing and low libido, providing guidance on assessment, diagnosis and the biological, psychological and social factors that can influence sexual desire.

Both webinars aim to help GPs deliver evidence-based patient care while earning CPD hours.
