I wish people understood what living in the Australian outback entails. Rescheduling an appointment for someone who has spent literally an entire day (or more) travelling to you is not an insignificant blow. RemoteAustraliansMatter RDAA Rural Health West


Hi Mark Butler MP I’m a rural GP Urgent Care Clinics: ✅ NOT Medicare ✅ NOT free ✅ Take GPs away from Primary Care ✅ Destroy continuity (episodic fragmented) ✅ Cost $250 per episode whilst the standard GP rebate is $42 Let GPs do what GPs can do 👏


As RACGP Queensland chair Cathryn Hester told Emily Dobson + Zara Margolis we can't keep relying on the heroics of individual rural GPs. Govt must boost investment in general practice care so that all patients can access care from a GP who knows them. abc.net.au/news/2025-03-3…

Let it die, just don’t be seen killing it: The silent policy behind rural procedural decline Rural hospitals are hollowing out — open in name, empty in service. We chase ‘system safety’ while communities left unsafe? Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President Dr Marian Dover Ryan Park MP RDAA



Anthony Albanese The average private GP consult fee is $90. The maximum the government is offering in #medicare rebates is about $68 (rebate + BB incentive + the new incentive if practice 100% BBs) ...so 25% LESS. And that's trusting Gov not to freeze rebates again which would make it worse.



Australia, you are stunning! Not only does this rural doctor have the privilege of working here, but I’m gifted with experiences as awesome as these. Save The Kimberley Isabella Warren DLGSC Kimberley #Purnululu The West Australian Tourism Australia Kimberley Adventures TourismKimberley
