We describe the interface between general practice and psychogeriatrics in Australia. While aged care services are complex and there are serious deficiencies in the management of the elderly, several initiatives appear set to improve the level of care. Economic considerations, mutual education of general practitioners and psychogeriatricians, and social factors are strong determinants of good primary care of the mental health needs of older people.
我们描述了澳大利亚普通医疗与老年精神病学之间的接口。虽然老年护理服务复杂，老年人管理方面存在严重不足，但一些举措似乎有望提高护理水平。经济因素、全科医生与老年精神病医生的相互教育以及社会因素，是满足老年人心理健康需求的优质初级护理的有力决定因素。
