About
Who is gpex?
gpex has stood at the intersection of emerging practice and practical front-line education since 2002. Today, our role extends beyond GP fellowship training. We partner with organisations to design tailored and scalable education solutions that strengthen workforce capability within the fast-changing health and wellbeing sector. Our legacy in high-quality, personalised education and decades of health sector experience are the foundations for our new direction.
gpex is a strategic education partner to national organisations. For more than two decades, gpex has designed learning for some of Australia’s most complex and high-stakes environments.
Our experience in medical and clinical education shaped our rigorous approach to learning design – one grounded in precision and real-world application. We mastered the science of evidence-based training, built trusted frameworks and saw firsthand how the right education helps communities thrive.
As organisations face increasing complexity, growing workforce pressures, rapidly evolving technology, and stringent safety and compliance regulations, those on the frontline must be confident, knowledgeable and adaptive. Yet many organisations struggle to translate strategy into consistent frontline capability and behaviour.
This is where gpex comes in. Drawing on our legacy of high-quality, intuitive education and harnessing emerging technology, contemporary learning design and deep sector expertise, we craft scalable, evidence-based learning to transform complex organisational goals into practical, instinctive skills.
We are the creative architects of frontline capability, partnering with organisations to link strategic intent directly to daily operational practice.
Working with government bodies, mission-led organisations, and forward-thinking commercial enterprises, our work strengthens workforce capability within a rapidly changing health, safety and wellbeing system. Examples of our partnerships include:
- National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) – designed the learning hub on behalf of the Australian Government;
- Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation – developed an online education program framed as interactive comedy for the BEAT it! Campaign
- Designed, developed and hosted a range of return-to-work education courses, including psychosocial coordinators for ReturnToWorkSA.
We are much more than education delivery providers. We are strategic partners in education – helping organisations to translate complex knowledge into scalable, intuitive learning experiences that work in the moments that matter most.
We are more than education delivery providers. We are strategic partners in education – helping organisations to translate complex knowledge into scalable, intuitive learning experiences that work in the moments that matter most.
Because when learning is thoughtfully designed, it doesn’t just transfer information. It builds confidence, capability and better care.
By working together and designing education to be adaptive and evidence-based, we’re helping to create a capable and future-ready healthcare workforce.

Turnkey solutions
gpex goes beyond education to design and support the implementation of integrated models of care.

Focus on behavioural change
Long-term, sustainable learning
Measuring for better learning design
gpex focuses on measuring the effectiveness and impact of education. gathering data before, during and post education, gpex tracks how learning experiences influence skills, behaviours, or knowledge, and how that translates into a tangible impact on the community. gpex applies these insights to continuously improve learning designs.
gpex designs practical, evidence-informed education that builds capability and confidence in clinical practice.
We bring together clinical expertise, contemporary pedagogy, adult learning principles and digital delivery to create structured, measurable learning experiences that are relevant to the audience and setting.
Every program is developed with clear objectives, measurable outcomes and content designed to support real-world application, clinical decision-making and confident practice.
Our multidisciplinary team of GPs, medical educators, learning designers and digital specialists ensures each program is clinically relevant, credible and immediately useful.
We design connected learning experiences – from interactive eLearning and live events to practice resources, learner communications and promotional support – delivered through branded, scalable platforms such as OneSite.
Participant analytics, feedback and evaluation data help us monitor engagement, measure outcomes and continuously refine learning design.
Quality and governance are embedded throughout, with peer review, assurance and compliance processes that support rigorous, safe and fit-for-purpose education in regulated healthcare environments.

Leader in Shared Care Models
gpex leads the South Australian Statewide GP Obstetric Shared Care Program and has contributed to the development and implementation of shared care models across a range of clinical areas, including ADHD, palliative care and mental health.
gpex is currently co-designing a shared care model for people living with heart failure, focused on supporting general practitioners to optimise medication titration, enhance patient wellbeing, and reduce avoidable hospital presentations and readmissions.
Through this work, gpex continues to support the expansion of shared care as a practical approach to improving care coordination for patients with complex and ongoing health needs.
Shared care is a structured, collaborative model in which responsibility for a person’s care is formally shared between primary care, such as general practitioners and specialist or hospital services. These models are designed to strengthen continuity of care, improve communication, and enable care to be delivered closer to home where appropriate.
gpex works with partners to design and support shared care models that are clinically robust and operationally sustainable. Key features typically include:
- clearly defined clinical roles and responsibilities
- agreed care plans and escalation pathways
- timely communication and information sharing between providers
- evidence-based clinical guidance and protocols
- defined patient eligibility and referral pathways
- governance, accountability, and risk management frameworks
- education and ongoing support for the primary care workforce
- data collection, monitoring, and evaluation
- a strong focus on patient-centred care
This approach reflects gpex’s role in supporting the practical implementation of collaborative, evidence-based models of care across the health system.

South Australian Statewide GP Obstetric Shared Care Program
Managed by gpex in partnership with SA Health, the South Australian Statewide GP Obstetric Shared Care Program is a well-established model of collaborative maternity care that supports continuity of care for pregnant women.
Engaging more than 810 accredited and provisionally accredited GPs across the state, it provides antenatal care in the community, in partnership with public hospital maternity services.
By enabling much of a woman’s routine pregnancy care to occur in general practice, the program improves access to care closer to home while helping to reduce demand on hospital antenatal clinics and supporting the efficient use of specialist maternity services.
This collaborative model is a powerful example of how integrated care can be delivered across the health system and has potential to be adapted to other areas of healthcare.
It supports the delivery of safe, evidence-based, and culturally responsive care, while enabling clinicians to work collaboratively and practice to the full scope of their expertise, strengthening both patient outcomes and system efficiency.
Highlights of the Obstetric Shared Care Program include:
- Collaborative Model Between GP, Midwives and Maternity Units
- Most antenatal care occurs in general practice
- Eligibility for low-risk pregnancies
- Accredited GP participation
- Statewide governance and coordination
- Standardised clinical perinatal guidelines
- Midwife Coordinator role
- Continuity and Accessibility for Women
- Data Collection and Program Evaluation
- Reduced burden on hospital outpatient services

Omega 3 Test and Treat Program support
Through its management of the South Australian GP Obstetric Shared Care Program, gpex has supported GPs across the state to incorporate the Omega‑3 Test and Treat Program into antenatal care.
Strong engagement from GPs indicates a willingness to adopt evidence‑informed interventions in everyday practice, with Omega‑3 testing increasingly being integrated into routine care.
By providing targeted education and practical clinical guidance, GPEx supports the translation of research into real-world primary care. This contributes to a more preventative approach to antenatal care, with potential to reduce the risk of preterm birth.
This progress reflects effective collaboration between research, policy, and frontline primary care, and highlights GPEx’s role in enabling the uptake of evidence-based care within routine practice.

OSC Accreditation
The GP Obstetric Shared Care Program operates a formal accreditation and governance framework endorsed by SA Health and underpinned by the South Australian Perinatal Practice Guidelines.
General Practitioners participating in the program are required to meet defined accreditation criteria, including recognised obstetric qualifications or relevant clinical experience, and completion of a dedicated OSC accreditation program.
Accreditation is maintained through ongoing continuing professional development, annual compliance monitoring, and adherence to statewide clinical guidelines to ensure safe, consistent, and evidence-based maternity care.
History
Since 2002 gpex built its reputation on delivering medical, health and wellbeing education and training through programs and businesses including Sturt Fleurieu Education & Training Ltd., which later became ModMed, and Adelaide to Outback GP (AOGP) training program, which ceased in 2025.
gpex led the flagship Australian General Practice Training (AGPT) Program until 2023 when, after 20 years, the program delivery shifted to the GP Colleges, ACRRM and RACGP.
This transition marked a new chapter for gpex, focused on an expanded national footprint and partnerships with governments, and private and not-for-profit organisations in the design, development and delivery of education and models of care.
The gpex brand was refreshed in 2026 to reflect the organisation’s expanding national focus and partnerships that enhance health and welbeing education.
Chief Executive Officer, Beth McKenzie, was appointed in September 2025 to lead gpex and to drive a new strategy toward 2030.
gpex looks ahead to technology-led education grounded in clinical expertise, for organisations across Australia, while nodding to the legacy of more than two decades.
