Thank you to everyone that has contributed to another successful year of primary care education through the ASA Commonwealth Grant activities. The Health Peak and Advisory Bodies program has provided education to over 22,000 general practitioners, psychologists, and primary care nurses. The Quality Use of Medicines for Insomnia and Sleep Health (QUMISH) program has provided education to over 13,000 Australian pharmacists. The reach of these programs would not be possible without a passionate and dedicated community of over 200 ASA members, supportive partner organisations, and many primary care clinicians with an interest in sleep health and sleep disorders. Thank you again to everyone that has been involved!

In addition to the numbers mentioned in the table below;

• The ASA primary care education websites have been viewed over 95,000 times,
• The AJGP special issue on sleep attracted over 36,000 reads,
• The Sleep Health Action Plan has been downloaded over 1,000 times, and
• The ASA CBTi provider directory now lists over 170 Australian and New Zealand clinicians with training and expertise in CBTi delivery.
