Funding of NPS

NPS is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee with a membership of peak health, medical and consumer organisations. It is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.

Programs are overseen by working groups of more than 50 individuals with expertise in a wide range of areas. Membership includes GPs, specialists, consumers, nurses, pharmacists, government and pharmaceutical industry representatives, academics and educators. Individuals are invited to participate based on their expertise, not necessarily as representatives of their organisations.

NPS has offices in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. Programs are implemented in local areas by NPS Facilitators who operate out of divisions of general practice located around Australia.
