I don't get it. Policy decisions around Medicare reform seem to go like this. 1.Govt effectively reduces the Medicare rebate over decades, assuming that GPs are too compassionate to charge patients who can't pay. Most GPs pay the gap between the cost & rebate themselves
Say I have equity & shares in a govt funded ($30M) project to transform the #mentalhealth system through innovative tech; I should advocate for the reduction of subsidised MH consults under Medicare's Better Access, & comment on GP billing practices, right?! Asking for a nation.
Some of the best TV I have seen in a while @theprojecttv - full credit for producers letting the cameras roll when the hunter became the hunted.
Today, Grace Tame met with the Prime Minister at the Lodge, with now-viral photos appearing online. We discuss the day and the differing opinions with @AmyRemeikis. #TheProjectTV

As a practice, we are working on how to immunise our patients & deciding if we can build extra capacity. We will need to work longer to do this without neglecting our usual care. My elderly patients are wanting reassurance that I will personally immunise them. Yes is my answer.
We are stronger together
Thank you to all my GP colleagues and their staff who continue to care for the community. Thanks for doing all you do. Thanks to @Lady_Gwendoline for creating this image and the wonderful website GPs-can.com.au and for your advocacy work. #GPs_can
