Manifesto

Since 2023, a group of GPs have been fighting to reverse the fracture of general practice in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The foundations of primary healthcare in Aotearoa are cracking. Under the weight of systemic neglect and chronic underfunding, the GPs holding our communities together are being pushed to the brink.

This is not a time for quiet discussion. This is a time for direct action.

General Practitioners Aotearoa is a movement. We are the line in the sand, drawn by GPs, for GPs. We came together in the recognition that waiting for others to act is no longer an option.

Our mission is to confront the threats facing our profession. We are the uncompromising voice in the halls of power where decisions would be made without us. We defend the integrity of our practice, the wellbeing of our colleagues, and the future of patient care in Aotearoa.

GPA receives no government funding. We are fuelled entirely by the practitioners we serve. This independence is our strength. Our loyalty is undivided. Our agenda is uncompromised. Our voice is truly yours.

We are your shield, and your spearhead. GPA is the unified front in the war for primary healthcare.

Ka puta to wairua nui i te whenua, ka tū tahi tātou.

We come together in strength.
