A Country Practice was one of the longest-running Australian soap operas. It ran on the Seven Network for 1,058 episodes from November 18, 1981 to November 22, 1993. It also ran from April to November 1994 for 29 episodes on the Ten Network.

In addition to being broadcast in Australia, it also ran on ITV in the United Kingdom, as well as in many European countries and Hong Kong. It was estimated that at its height, the show received a worldwide audience of five to six million each week. [1]

The show followed a medical practice in the fictional New South Wales town of Wandin Valley. Although the show focused mostly on the patients served by the practice, A Country Practice also touched on more topical issues, such as youth unemployment as well as Aborigines and their place in modern Australian society.
