Journal Article
New reform proposals for Australian health care
2023
Overview
In February, 2023, the Strengthening Medicare Taskforce, a group of health leaders formed by the Federal Government, released its much anticipated report on how to improve Australia's primary health-care system. Associate Professor Louise Stone from the College of Health and Medicine, Australian National University in Garran, who is also a GP who works with homeless young people in Canberra, explained that the current fee-for-service model rewards quick and easy consultations rather than complex care, such as for people with chronic disease or mental health problems. [...]doctors have described to The Lancet that the GP workforce is demoralised, with doctor shortages, clinics closing, and the uneven distribution of GPs worsening. The Taskforce recommends moving to a blended funding model to support general practice in the management of complex chronic diseases that are integrated with fee-for-service, “with funding for longer consultations and incentives that promote quality bundles of care for people who need it most”.
