The RACGP is set to axe a swathe of senior executives and undergo a major restructure after the college’s new CEO declared it “needs to do better” for GPs.

The shake-up, announced by Paul Wappett, follows an independent review that has apparently revealed members are unhappy with a college bureaucracy they believe is failing to align with their needs.

“Our structures were focused inward rather than on our members,” Mr Wappett said on Tuesday.

“That needs to change, and our members always need to be front of mind.”
