Objective 4: GP Super Clinics will provide support for preventative care.

Objective 6: GP Super Clinics will provide a working environment and conditions which attract and retain their workforce.
Objective 7: GP Super Clinics will be centres of high quality best practice care.
Objective 8: Post establishment, GP Super Clinics will operate with viable, sustainable and efficient business models.
Objective 9: GP Super Clinics will support the future primary care workforce.
