Access Aged Care is redefining how General Practitioners practise within Residential Aged Care Homes, creating a more sustainable, clinically supported and rewarding way to practise medicine in aged care. Backed by the national network of Access Telehealth, our multidisciplinary model enables GPs to focus on timely, proactive resident care while working alongside dedicated nurses, telehealth specialists and streamlined operational systems.

Designed for clinicians who want to continue practising in aged care long‑term, without the unsustainable pressures traditionally associated with the sector, our model supports proactive intervention, collaborative care and better health outcomes for older Australians. We have delivered measurable reductions in emergency department presentations, unplanned hospitalisations and polypharmacy within partnered Residential Aged Care Homes nationally.

Through our national network of general practitioners, nurses and specialists, we support Residential Aged Care Homes and regional communities nationwide while improving access to high‑quality healthcare for older Australians.
