Most primary and preventive care in Australia occurs in general practice. Australian general practice will therefore have a critical role to play in control efforts during an influenza pandemic, and also in sustaining other primary health care activities. After an initial surge in attendances, there may be a decline in attendance, as Australians become more reluctant to congregate in a place where they may become ill. This study seeks to complement the Australian Pandemic Influenza Management Plan by developing a range of action plans for use by general practitioners and public health authorities to support essential primary health care functions through a pandemic, and maximize general practice's contribution to control efforts. A range of methods will be used, including systematic review of existing literature, economic modeling of the Medicare costs and savings of different models of health care, interviews with key informants who have helped develop disaster response plans for general practice, or who are in positions of leadership. The project will culminate in the development of a simulation exercise to be used as a self-assessment tool for general practitioners, and a summit of general practice stakeholders who will help to finalise agreed action plans for the general practice response to pandemic influenza.

澳大利亚的大多数初级和预防性护理都是在全科实践中进行的。因此，澳大利亚全科医生将在流感大流行期间的控制工作以及维持其他初级卫生保健活动方面发挥关键作用。在最初的出席人数激增之后，出席人数可能会下降，因为澳大利亚人变得更不愿意聚集在可能生病的地方。本研究旨在通过制定一系列行动计划来补充澳大利亚大流行性流感管理计划，供全科医生和公共卫生当局使用，以在大流行期间支持基本的初级卫生保健职能，并最大限度地提高全科医生对控制工作的贡献。将使用一系列方法，包括对现有文献的系统审查、医疗保险成本的经济模型和不同医疗保健模式的节省、对帮助制定一般实践灾难应对计划或担任领导职务的关键知情人进行访谈。该项目最终将开发一个模拟练习，用作全科医生的自我评估工具，并召开全科医生利益相关者峰会，帮助最终确定针对大流行性流感的全科医生应对行动计划。
