Help & support
The CommBank GP Insights Report is based on the insights of more than 200 general practices and 1,000 patients around Australia. It explores practices’ performance and priorities and how these align with patient preferences.
Insights directly from the industry and patient population can help practices respond and adapt with confidence. We investigate:

About the CommBank GP Insights Report
The 2023 Report is based on a quantitative survey of 204 decision-makers and influencers at general practices across Australia and 1,020 patients who had consulted a practice within three months of completing the study.
The available practice survey was conducted by a mix of practising physicians, business owners and senior decision-makers, with 75% located in capital cities and 25% in other regions.
ACA Research conducted the general practice and patient surveys on behalf of CommBank Health in October 2022. The surveys were designed to track perspectives on topical issues and practice priorities. All references to patients and general practices in this report refer to those participating in the surveys unless stated otherwise.
