DR REBEKAH HOFFMAN

Media and Advocacy

Advocacy is a core part of Dr Hoffman's work.

General practice is central to a high-functioning health system, yet its value is too often underestimated in public debate and policy design. Dr Hoffman is committed to using her voice to advocate for patients, GPs, practice teams, and the future of accessible, high-quality primary care.

Her advocacy work spans media, professional leadership, public speaking, policy engagement, and sector collaboration. She contributes to conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing general practice, including workforce sustainability, scope of practice, preventive care, continuity, quality, and health system reform.
