This report gives a local-level breakdown of the care of patients with chronic conditions by determining how many of these patients there are, and how often and in what ways their GP manages these conditions. Findings are described for 61 local areas and for seven clusters of similar areas called peer groups. Results are presented from data collected by the Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health (BEACH) program, conducted by the University of Sydney, during the period from 2005 to 2013.

This report was first published on the MyHealthyCommunities website.

Findings from this report:
  • In some areas, GPs were almost twice as likely to prescribe psychotropic medicines to manage depression or anxiety

  • Around half of the people who visited a GP once in a year, had one or more chronic conditions

  • There are marked differences in how chronic conditions are managed by GPs across Australia

  • Across local areas, 34% to 50% of GP consultations involved the active management of one or more chronic conditions
