The Capricornia Division is fostering a more direct link with your patients, to help you as a GP promote positive health messages and to showcase the important role of general practice in this region.

With our top media establishments including ABC Capricornia and The Morning Bulletin on board, we are spreading the word to a significant proportion of the Central Queensland population about what good health means, what you and your allied health counterparts can offer patients and what the Division does to support you in your business.

Reaching Out Through Sound
Listeners tuning into ABC Capricornia radio every second Tuesday will be able to gain the latest information and friendly advice from our local GP Dr Joan Chamberlain on a variety of health topics with the 'Family Health' radio spot.

Dr Chamberlain has been making regular 'appearances' on ABC radio for the past 5 years and has established a strong following. The segment can be heard at 10.00 a.m. by tuning into 837AM (in the Rockhampton region).

Reaching Out Through Touch
If glossy brochures appeal to you, then the important information they contain is an added bonus. The Division has published and distributed two patient brochures for practices to display in their waiting rooms which focus on the services that GPs can provide. The ‘Why See A GP?' brochure is targeted at the general population and the ‘Why Would You Go To The Doctor?' brochure looks at answering frequent questions that adolescents have about going to the doctor.
