This teaching plan focuses on the health needs of adolescents and young people, aged 12-24, a group that represents 18% of Australia’s population, with 3.4% identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. Given that adolescent health issues are primarily psychosocial and involve the establishment of lifelong risky behaviors, GPs are ideally positioned to provide early intervention and comprehensive care, though managing this age group can be challenging for GP registrars.

This teaching plan focuses on the critical role of GPs in providing medical care to residents of residential aged care facilities (RACF), where care differs significantly from that in general practice. Given the complexity of managing clinical syndromes, multimorbidity, palliative care, and medicolegal issues, GP registrars may find working in RACFs challenging without specific education and training.
