General Practitioners

General Practitioners are otherwise referred to as GPs or family doctors around Australia. They are well known to provide a broad spectrum of health care to people of all ages from advice, medical reviews and testing to treatment, some surgeries and management of chronic illness and conditions.

They can also provide education about health issues, correct procedures and individualised recommendations on a range of health issues that may affect individuals and families around Australia. This includes fitness-related issues such as exercising, diets and supplements.

Your GP will be able to give you the additional advice you need when deciding the best way to implement various health and fitness related procedures for your situation. Not every diet or fitness practice is suitable for everyone, and your doctor will be able to consider your situation, existing conditions and the most recent information from the medical community to recommend an approach that will see you achieve your desired health goals safely.

GPs commonly work with other medical professionals throughout the health industry from dietitians to physiotherapists and a whole lot more. They can refer you to the correct specialists where necessary, and for many people, regular visits to the GP are part of the family health routine.
