WONCA – Global Family Doctor

152 North Sathon Road
Silom, Bangrak
Bangkok 10500

Dear Dr Manning
At the 1972 Fifth World Conference of Family Doctors, held in Melbourne Australia, WONCA officially
began its long and illustrious history. Now, Australia warmly opens its arms and invites WONCA back
to its beginnings to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is delighted to submit this bid to host
WONCA 2022 in Sydney, Australia. The RACGP has a strong history of hosting successful national
conferences with our own GP17, also held in Sydney, attracting over 2,300 attendees from Australia
and across the globe. We are sure a WONCA World Conference held in Sydney will be successful and
memorable for all delegates.
The RACGP plays a leading role in shaping the health of the nation through frontline family doctors and
the general practice profession. With more than 38,000 members representing 90% of the general
practice profession, the RACGP is the peak medical body in Australia.
The RACGP’s prominent and influential voice ensures our communities, stakeholders and political
decision makers – both within Australia and overseas – understand the vital role GPs play in our
communities. It is a voice which extends to all levels of government to allow policy makers to make
informed decisions for Australian patients.
The RACGP defines the nature of the general practice discipline, sets the standards and curriculum for
education and training, maintains the standards for quality clinical practice, and supports GPs in their
pursuit of excellence in patient care and community service.
Australia’s success in delivering a nationwide, cost-effective health service has been increasingly
recognised internationally. The standards of care the RACGP sets have seen international delegates
turn to the RACGP for guidance on how they too can bring their nation’s healthcare system in line with
the caliber of Australia’s. In early 2018, 22 delegates from China’s Zhejiang province visited the RACGP
5
GP22 Excellence in global health
WONCA 2022 / Sydney, Australia
to learn about the Australian primary care framework and for guidance on developing an appropriate
and contextual Chinese healthcare framework.
The RACGP is working towards a healthier profession and a healthier Australia by closing the gap
between general practice and hospital systems, allowing patients to have lower overall health costs and
better health outcomes.
The WONCA 2022 World Conference of Family Doctors is an opportunity to further this work and
acknowledge the role family doctors play in our communities on both a national and international level.
In bidding for the right to host the WONCA 2022 World Conference of Family Doctors, the RACGP has
the full support of Business Events Sydney, the Australian Federal Government, the New South Wales
Government and the tourism industry of Australia and Sydney. We look forward to officially presenting
our bid in Incheon in October 2018.
Yours sincerely

Dear Professor Howe and Dr Manning
It is with great pleasure that I provide this letter of support on behalf of Western Sydney University for The
Royal Australian College of General Practitioners’ bid to host the 24th WONCA World Conference in 2022 in
Sydney, Australia.
I am Chair of the Department of General Practice at Western Sydney University and a copted member of the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Faculty of the RACGP (previously Deputy Chair).
I have previously attended a number of WONCA conferences and find them inspiring and collegial events.
In Australia we are on the brink of some major changes in primary health care with the potential to move to
a more mixed funding model and to implement changes such as those modelled by Patient Centred Medical
Homes. Such changes would improve both the quality and accessibility of primary health care particularly for
those with chronic illness. My particular interest is in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health where we
have seen similar models of primary health care in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services. The
funding for these services, meeting the needs of the sickest and most disadvantaged communities in
Australia is always precarious and would be better supported by universal adoption of PCMH models of
primary health care.
For Australia to host the WONCA World Conference in 2022 would send a strong signal to our government
regarding the funding and performance of Australian primary health care in comparison to that in other
countries. They will see there are better options available than our almost entirely fee for service model. It
would put primary health care in sharp focus at a time when much of the attention and funding has been
directed to secondary and tertiary health services.
At Western Sydney University we have been involved in evaluation of a number of local pilots of primary and
integrated health services innovations. We are keen to see the benefits realised in these small projects
extended more widely but need government support for this to occur.
Western Sydney University looks forward to welcoming our colleagues from the WONCA global community
to Sydney, Australia in 2022 for an outstanding World Conference.
Yours sincerely

Dear Professor Howe and Doctor Manning,
RE: World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA) World Conference 2022
It gives me great pleasure to support Business Events Sydney with their bid to manage the World Organisation of
Family Doctors (WONCA) World Conference 2022 here in Australia.
Business Events Sydney has an established track record of managing successful international conferences in Australia.
Over the next few years Business Events Sydney will hold a number of significant international meetings in Sydney.
Australia is a magnificent country in which to hold this important and prestigious international event. Conference
venues, exhibition venues and services are excellent with a wide range of quality accommodation, entertainment,
attractions and facilities in the city to suit all interests and tastes.
As well as the support services that contribute to a successful meeting, Business Events Sydney can offer delegates an
experience of the wonderful lifestyle we enjoy in Australia.
Australia is an ideal destination for the World Organisation of Family Doctors World Conference. The people of
Australia look forward to offering a warm welcome to your delegates and their partners in 2022.
Yours sincerely,
John O’Sullivan
