GP Nursing provides free access to current industry information and reputable sites for enrolled nurses, division 2 nurses, EN, to help them transition into Primary Health and GP Nursing WELCOME TO GP Nurse Training "We all started somewhere and it wasn't easy for most of us, imagine if someone was there to guide and support you and the difference that would have made." "Inspire, Motivate and Lead by Example" - Kristin Myall Primary and Community Health Care Settings Primary and community health care often only referrs to walkin or non-referral healthcare providers, secondary care often referrs to a specialist service that may or may not require a referral and tertiary care often referrs to a hospital setting. Aged care is was previously associated with tertiary care however, in recent descussions there is more of a shift to reclassify aged care as part of primary or community care or as it's own area. Recently there has been discussion around levels of access to care and care settings with a shift towards classification as primary and community care (non hospital), acute and emergency care (hospital) and where specialty care should be situated. Specialty care fall under primary, secondary and tertiary care depending on acute, chronic or complex presentations and the treatments required as this can vary throughtout the patinet health and illness continuum. Secondary care or specialty area nurses often miss out on education, training, mentoring and other opportunities available to nurses in other areas of nursing however there are many similarities between general practice and other specialists clinics. General p ractice falls under primary health care although general practitioners are classified as specialists however you do not require a referral to see one and in some other specialty clinics a referral is preferred but not essential.

There are six SSOs funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training. SSOs support industry engagement while remaining independent from both industry and the training sector. Each SSO provides agreed services to several IRCs. This includes providing secretariat services and travel and accommodation support, preparing documents such as the skills forecast and proposed schedule of work, and assisting with developing and reviewing training packages. SSOs are also a key access point for other industry stakeholders who want to play a part in the development of training packages. AISC The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) was established by the COAG Industry and Skills Council in May 2015 to give industry a formal role in approving vocational education and training (VET) training packages for implementation.

Members include industry leaders nominated by Commonwealth and state and territory ministers responsible for skills and training, a peak body representative (rotating between the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Business Council of Australia and the Australian Industry Group), and two ex-officio members (senior government officials). IRCs Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) are the formal channel for considering industry skills requirements in the development and review of training packages. In 2017 all IRCs were reviewed and followed the Guiding Principles developed by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC). Each IRC is made up of people with close links to industry. They are leaders in their own sectors from big business to small enterprise and peak bodies to unions, who understand the skills needs of their sector, industry or occupation. IRCs advise the AISC about the skills needs of their industry sector. IRCs ensure training packages meet the needs and concerns of employers, employees, training providers, and people seeking training qualifications. To make sure industry’s voice is heard, IRCs gather information from their industry sector - including challenges, opportunities, trends and industry requirements for training - to advise on training packages. They use this information to develop and review training packages to help make sure the national training system provides the qualifications, knowledge and skill sets that industry needs. IRCs also promote the use of vocational education and training in the industry sectors they represent. Each IRC is supported by a Skills Service Organisation (SSO) to help them in their work.
