AAAPC is a proudly multidisciplinary and inclusive group of people working, studying, interested in, and retired, from academic primary care.

Our members are from Australia and New Zealand. All share a passion for primary care and include:

Professionals from any primary care discipline who have an interest in research and/or education
Primary care academics working at universities or with training providers
Higher degree research students and/or postgraduate trainees of primary care disciplines
Organisations with an interest in strengthening the capacity, capability and influence of primary care in the health systems of Australia and New Zealand. These include universities, regional health authorities, primary care training providers and professional colleges.

We welcome members from general practice, primary care nursing, physiotherapy, dietetics, pharmacy, psychology and social work but your background is not important as long as you share our goals of:

Championing a vision of primary care oriented heath care that is underpinned by high quality evidence and education
Promoting and nurturing research and scholarly activity in primary care
Mentoring and developing the academic primary care workforce.

We aim to be a visible, effective and sustainable organisation that is responsive to a broad primary care membership.

We are a not-for-profit organisation run entirely on the goodwill and time of our membership. Your membership fees go towards the fellowships we offer, the meetings, conferences and events we run and the maintenance of our website.
