About the GP Liaison Unit
Barwon Health's GP Liaison Unit (GPLU) was established to assist GPs with access to hospital services and improve communication between Barwon Health and General Practice.

Some of the programs include:

- Assist GPs in accessing hospital services
- Facilitating communication between the hospital and GPs in the community
