Welcome to NSW Outback Division of General Practice Ltd website.The NSW Outback Division of General Practice Ltd (ODGP) is a health service provider that aims to improve the health of people living in the shires of Cobar, Bourke, Brewarrina and Walgett. Our services and programmes demonstrate a wide variety of partnerships, innovative services structures, effective community engagement and a growing cohort of clinical experts and health related contractors who underpin the efficacy of programmes and related management. The Outback Division serves a population of 15,932 (based upon ABS estimates of resident population at 30th June 2007), and is the largest and most remote Division within NSW, with the highest per capita Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of any Division. Our population is relatively disadvantaged socio-economically, with a high rate of avoidable hospitalisations, and substantially higher avoidable mortality, than Australia as a whole. In this context, we play a pivotal role in supporting the redesign of general practice services, and presenting a raft of innovative programme supports to our communities. To do this, we nurture active partnerships with General Practice, Greater Western Area Health Service (GWAHS), the three Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) in our Division, other health sector stakeholders, and our grass-roots communities.
As an organisation we are extremly busy with the day to day demands of our various programs and services. Our Staff continue in their endeavours' to design and deliever healthcare products in our communities. We value quality, transparency and accountability. The Division's management systems are certified to the international ISO 9001:2008 Standard by SAI Global. |
