Who We Are

We are a group of General Practitioners who work in the Sydney Hills District and have formed an association for three purposes:

​

1. for support and fellowship
2. for ongoing education
3. professional development

About Hills Doctors Association

The Hills Association was established in 1990, as an Association of local doctors, with the aim of supporting local doctors to provide better healthcare to the community and improve the health of the local community.  In 2018, the constitution was amended to allow any registered health professional practicing in the local region to be admitted as a member.

The prime objectives of the Association are :

​

  1. Improving Healthcare provision 

  2. Professional Development and Education

  3. Health Advocacy for the health sector, the environmental, social and commercial determinants of health. 

  4.  Collegiality

 

In order to pursue its objectives, the Association regularly organises events and engages in scheduled activities, such as:
 

  • Monthly General Clinical Education Meetings

  • Health Practice Improvement meetings

  • Regular meetings with other health bodies and associations

  • Meetings with representatives from all levels of government

  • Co- founding, planning and co-developing the innovative Peer led lifestyle education program for secondary school students - SALSA (Students as Lifestyle Activists)
