The GP Desktop Toolkit has links to over 400 commonly used administrative and diagnostic tools, saving GPs valuable time.

The toolkit is divided into 6 categories:

  • Online practice tools, encompassing administrative and clinical/diagnostic tools;
  • Checklists/questionnaires;
  • Commonly used forms;
  • Guidelines, including administrative and clinical guidelines and standards;
  • Information and other resources; and
  • State specific tools such as forms for WorkCover, and S8 prescribing.

The AMA updates these links on a regular basis and/or when new information becomes available.
