General Practice Aged Care Incentive
The General Practice Aged Care Incentive supports general practices to deliver regular, proactive services and care planning to older people living in residential aged care homes.
If your practice is already participating in the existing Practice Incentive (PIP) General Practice (GP) Aged Care Access Incentive (ACAI), we encourage you to get ready to register for the General Practice Aged Care Incentive.
