Rural Generalism has finally been announced as its own medical speciality!!

This will be fantastic for attracting even more young doctors into rural medicine & properly recognising the rural doctors already caring for rural patients

Rural medicine is in good hands with leaders like these 2 @DoverMarian and RDAA President Elect @drsarahchalmers

@petalac71 @RuralDoctorsAus So much hard work from the @RuralDoctorsAus team!! Such a good outcome for remote Australia!!

[peta rutherford @petalac71]

Lots in today’s announcement from the Govt more $$ for bulk billing & now everyone is eligible for the incentive. The built in tiering for rural & remoteness still applies - a key principle thanks to @JHRural . Investment to primary care is welcomed. @RuralDoctorsAus

General Practice is the frontline & foundation of an effective, accessible health system. It has bled for far too long.
This policy from the Fed Govt is clever (to promote access & contain patient costs), & big enough ($8.5b) to improve things #auspol25

Kate’s running MyMarathon to support Aussie hearts. Will you help her raise funds for lifesaving heart disease research? https://t.co/EdwIfTG8pj

[Dr Marian Dover @DoverMarian]

Well, there you have it @Mark_Butler_MP @AlboMP

The [expensive] Urgent Care Centres aren’t having much impact in reducing ED pressures.

Maybe it’s time to stop starving the patient rebates for GP visits, and fund Primary Care? Recognise continuity & its potential? #auspol

@midnightoilband Legends! Keep up the good work!

How you vote is totally up to you but we’ve decided to run a radio advertising campaign urging people not to fall for all the bullshit that’s being thrown around by the NO campaign. Just don’t let anyone treat you like a mug - if you don’t know, find out! https://t.co/iyZ5aArZfS

@KangarooBeach I’m not surprised @KangarooBeach

[Dr Marian Dover @DoverMarian]

But, all the while, GPs doing what GPs do best is STILL the cheapest, most efficient healthcare provision to fund, instead getting derailed by UCCs & payroll tax 🤔

What on earth is happening to Primary Care funding in Aus?! @AlboMP @JEChalmers @RACGPPresident @amapresident

[Dr Marian Dover @DoverMarian]

Somebody please explain this to me as if I’m 5yo:

- Medicare rebates <half the value of a GP consult
- We are building urgent care centres & funding them better than Primary Care
- If GPs don’t bulk bill enough, we are taxing them to make them more inaccessible

I hope that my children, and future generations will look back on today’s Rural Maternity Forum as a historic event.

I hope it’s the end to closure of #RuralMaternity and the start of more continuity, choice, access & culturally safe care.

Thank you for bringing us together.
