GPs and their patients can tonight breathe a sigh of relief, with the Government announcing it won't be pursuing a tax crackdown on doctor's practices. Tim Arvier #9News

AMA Queensland has been actively advocating against #patienttax for almost two years. Tim Arvier takes us back to November 2022 when Dr Maria Boulton first raised the alarm. Finally we have some certainty for patients and GPs - this is a sensible govt move.

Pregnant families in Cairns deserve a choice of who delivers their baby. AMA Queensland President Dr Maria Boulton will talk to Health Minister Shannon Fentiman tomorrow. ama.com.au/qld/news/Trans…

Great to see the crucial role of general practice being recognised. AMA Queensland and Dr Maria Boulton urged Shannon Fentiman and the Qld Govt to expand relocation incentives to GPs. They have listened.

An absolute honour for Dr Maria Boulton to talk to E/Prof John Murtagh AO, the man who literally wrote the book on how to be a GP, at #WONCA . With the equally accomplished Dr Jill Rosenblatt and Dr Jared Dart.

No-one has lost faith in our hardworking doctors, nurses, paramedics and healthcare workers, but they are losing faith in the system Dr Maria Boulton #Auspol2024 ama.com.au/qld/news/Confi…

AMA Queensland has outlined its key health priorities for the next three years, with workforce at No.1. We can't open new hospital beds without staff to operate them. #Auspol2024 #MedTwitter ama.com.au/qld/news/Workf…

"COVID is not a simple respiratory illness, it's a multi-system inflammatory illness that needs to be taken seriously. It's Queensland Health's responsibility to ensure they're providing a safe workplace for their workers." Dr Maria Boulton #MedTwitter abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…

Excellent news. AMA Qld has been advocating for this RSV antibody vaccine to be funded. This follows the Qld Government funding the Men B vaccine and flu vaccine for those not eligible under the National Immunisation Program.

Healthcare practitioners on parental leave should not have to keep paying full fees to Ahpra to keep their registration. We need a lower fee to assist healthcare workers as they start their families.

Outgoing AMA Qld Pres Dr Maria Boulton reflects on the past two years. "I didn't feel that the health system was going in the right direction. You can sit home and whinge or you can become involved and be part of the change." #changemaker #medtwitter

It has been an absolute privilege to have served as the AMA Queensland President for the past two years representing our members, profession and community. I wish new AMA Queensland President Dr Nick Yim Nick Yim and new Vice President Dr Emilia Dauway the very best.

Great to see Shannon Fentiman and Steven Miles adopt AMA Qld's call for grants for doctors to become GPs. This has worked in Victoria and will help address workforce shortages. #QldBudget #paywalled couriermail.com.au/news/queenslan…

Some great news for Qld doctors considering GP specialty training.

All parties should commit to ending the patient tax by exempting GPs from payroll tax. Dr Maria Boulton spoke to media today about what this means for primary care. Labor must follow LNP on payroll tax for GPs | Australian Medical Association (ama.com.au)

This is a great commitment and we urge all parties to take up the challenge. Now is not the time to make seeing your GP more expensive.

#stopthepatienttax. After a strong advocacy campaign from AMA Qld the Qld LNP today announced their commitment to a payroll tax exemption for GP patients. A great commitment towards health in Qld.
