The Illawarra Division of General Practice (IDGP) was established on 15 August 1993 with funding from the then Department of Health and Family Services. From the IDGP's inception it has operated under the direction of a strong Board of Directors and has acquired the support and participation of many GP members. Over the years, the IDGP has continued to grow and expand, successfully managing a number of ongoing programs, delivering services and developing many new Illawarra area-wide initiatives.

The Illawarra Division has excelled in a number of key areas, and is well known in the Divisions Network as having forward thinking strategies in the area of Primary Health Care and health information management/technology.

Vision
