As per the direction from the GPSC and Ministry of Health, Victoria Division of Family Practice will not use any funds provided through the Physician Master Agreement for purchasing alcohol. This includes all collaborative funds, the divisions’ infrastructure funds and any initiatives funded by joint committees.
Therefore, VDFP will not purchase, serve or supply alcohol at any meetings or events using funds as indicated in the paragraph above. If members choose to purchase an alcoholic beverage from the venue bar/lounge or consume alcohol purchased from any outside source they do so of their own volition and without the financial support of the VDFP. The Division does not accept liability for guests actions thereafter, following the consumption of alcohol.
