Welcome to the Adelaide Hills Division of General Practice

The Adelaide Hills Division of General Practice provides practice & service support to Doctors in the Adelaide Hills, to improve health outcomes in the region. Working closely with the hospitals & community health centres, the Adelaide hills Division of General Practice focuses on providing a way forward to benefit the community at large.

Our mission is to support local general practitioners and their practices to enhance the health status of the local community.

The Division is located near Mt. Barker, which has been identified as one of the three fastest growing regions in South Australia. The western part of the Division (Stirling, Aldgate, Crafers, Uraidla, Norton Summit) is mainly "dormitory suburbs" for Adelaide, with residents commuting to Adelaide on a daily basis. The eastern parts (Balhannah, Hahndorf, Woodside) are almost entirely rural, with a mixture of both in the central areas (Mt Barker, Littlehampton, Nairne).
