Donations & Health Charity Status
GPRA is a not-for-profit organisation and has been recently listed as a ‘Health Charity’ which positions it as the only charitable organisation dedicated to supporting General Practice Registrars. With our newlyestablished “Research & Education Fund”, GPRA has renewed focus in supporting education and research in the industry and welcome donations from all benefactors. All Donations over $2 to GPRA are tax deductible.

The GPRA sponsorship program is our foundation for establishing strategic and mutually-beneficial, long-term relationships with appropriate organisations. Experience shows us that this approach is, by all measures, a superior one compared with one-off or opportunistic activities – alternatives which, by contrast, have short time horizons, little or no strategic focus and are simply ‘hard work’ for both parties, which typically do not maximise the value from the opportunity that long-term relationships engender.
GPRA will help you to tailor a sponsorship package to meet your desired
objectives:

• Closely align your brand and positioning with the needs
of a young, emerging GP workforce.
• Providing you access to key industry decision makers, especially
those involved in the GP education and training process.
• Assist you to be positioned as a key player in positive change
to GP training, workplace and life-style issues.
• Improve your market position by more accurately targeting of the
‘new GPs’ and ‘Registrar’ segments of the complex GP market.
• Help build your future sales pipeline by initiating early-stage
relationships with tomorrow’s GPs.

Sponsorship Packages
GPRA are flexible in the structuring of our sponsorship packages and are
happy to put together traditional (general) sponsorship packages tailored to
your needs and budget. Generic sponsorship packages include Platinum,
Gold, Silver and Bronze and the attributes of these packages are outlined
in our Sponsorship Matrix.
GPRA are also keen to develop innovative packages that are project-based.
These projects will typically enhance and improve Registrar experience,
and so positively affect the long-term sustainability of our primary healthcare
sector. In this situation, you might already have a project that you’d like to
do that involves Registrars and then we would facilitate this. Alternatively,
we might identify a need within the sector and find a solution that aligns
with your values and organisational objectives. We would then jointly work
in partnership to bring the idea and project to market.

Levels of Sponsorship
For detail on the range of available sponsorship packages, please refer
to the Sponsorship Matrix for each activity. This doesn’t include Platinum
