Medicare funding your GP visit

GPs are the heart of the healthcare system.

But they don’t do it alone.

As many of those with complex or chronic health conditions know, you often need to see multiple healthcare staff.

Nurses for immunisation or wound care or diabetes care.

Physios for muscle pain and recovery.

Mental health workers, pharmacists, dietitians, Aboriginal health workers and many others – all work hard to improve and maintain your health.

But making multiple appointments, in multiple locations, with multiple clinics can be difficult, expensive and frustrating.

Coordinating and communicating your healthcare needs between each group can be difficult, and repetitive.

The AMA’s plan to Modernise Medicare would fix this.

Imagine all your healthcare team working together – as part of a single team, under the one roof.

A true medical ‘home’ for all your healthcare needs, led by your GP.

AMA’s plan to modernise Medicare would support this by funding general practices to be able to employ the right healthcare workforce needed in your community.

Because more types of care under one roof is what can help you save time and money, and improve your health.

Now’s the time act: support the AMA’s plan to Modernise Medicare here.
