Australia’s health system is in crisis. Delayed surgeries, under-resourced hospitals, lengthy specialist waiting lists, straining general practice, barriers to dental and allied healthcare, and a burnt-out workforce are our new normal.
We are a far cry from the original Medicare aspirations of equitable and efficient healthcare for all! How can we address the situation?
This event is the first of a series on our healthcare system and will focus on general practice, the backbone of our health system.
Come and hear our panellists discuss why this is happening and consider priorities to address it.
Peter Breadon and Danielle Romanes (Grattan Institute) will talk about the recent Grattan Institute’s report, “A New Medicare: Strengthening General Practice”, which they authored.
Dr. John Furler, GP at North Richmond Community Health Centre since 1994 and Honorary Professor of General Practice at the University of Melbourne will share his perspective from working with community health and researching health inequity.
