GP In Schools
The GPs in Schools Pilot will place General Practitioners (GPs) in 50 Queensland state schools with secondary students. The service will provide students with free access to a GP at school 1 day per week, removing barriers students may otherwise face to receiving timely and appropriate healthcare. The provision of this service will have positive impacts for students' health and wellbeing and their readiness and ability to engage positively at school.
Following a great deal of interest from schools, a decision was made to expand the pilot from supporting 20 to 50 schools to provide a GP service to their secondary students.
From 2022, we will have a GP working at Maryborough State High School one day a week (Tuesday), to provide our secondary students with access to free and confidential healthcare. You are encouraged to email our Guidance Officer, Kelli Denyer (kdeny5@eq.edu.au), if you have any questions.
