GPA Membership

Our profession is facing a common threat. Only a united front can stand against it. GPA is that front.

As GPs, we are the backbone of healthcare, and now is the time to unite and use our collective voice to fight. By joining, you’re not just adding your name to a membership – you’re becoming part of a powerful movement to safeguard the future of general practice.

We’ve made membership accessible for every GP because your voice matters. 

This is the first time in living history that general practitioners have created an organisation to represent the profession by giving us our own united and independent voice.

• Members are eligible to vote in the Board election for their representatives, who will shape policy.
• Members are eligible to be nominated for Board positions.
• Members have a constitutionally protected voice with a clear process of how that voice is represented.
• Members can take part in GPA campaigning as much or as little as they wish.

Who can join?

All practising GPs in Aotearoa New Zealand can join, including GPs who are:

• Fellows
• Registrars
• Clinic owners
• Employees
• Contractors
• Overseas trained

Membership fee dates

All memberships renew on April 1 each year.

The first year of your membership is prorated. So you will only have to pay a part fee for your first part-year of membership.

For example if you sign up in October, you will only pay 50% of the regular fee. Your membership will renew on April 1, when you will pay a full year’s membership.
