Great primary care (aka GP) is invisible until it isn’t there.
Keeping folk from ED isn’t about ‘urgent care’ after a problem appears
It’s the months and years of preventive care that prolong healthy life. Everything else is picking up the pieces

Not just Medicare, but the regulator (i.e. AHPRA) also! Such a shameful and illogically heavy-handed approach removes the professionalism from medicine and, ultimately, disadvantages patients.

ProfessionalServicesReview. If you’re an outlier you must be a fraud. If you rightly defend yourself, they will SHUT YOU DOWN b/c no one must ever defeat the PSR. Innocence is not an option. #medicalwitchhunt tinyurl.com/ypyhwpe2 @Mark_Butler_MP @RACGP

Pathetic response by the regulators. Govt barely funds these services, waiting lists are ridiculous yet they find it appropriate to target someone providing such services for the community? Experts in ivory towers who don’t live in the real world!🤦♂️🤦♂️@Mark_Butler_MP @RACGP

This systemic abuse of GPs my teh audit system really is shocking
The system will struggle doing these procedures anywhere else
And the states wonder why more ends up in ED

It’s harassment level and must stop. Blind bureaucracy and questionable algorithms. Robo audits.
Harms Drs and harms patient care.
The compliance system and Medicare needs an audit of its own performance.

Qn: Who can’t have a COVID vaccine and how do I get a medical exemption?
Ans: Very very very few people will qualify for an exemption on medical grounds.
NB. If you don’t WANT the vaccine that’s called a conscientious objector

GP practices working harder than ever and now the rug has been pulled from under them. It's illogical. So I wrote this petition. change.org/CountTelehealth
