The Albanese Government is investing $220 million for our health workforce over two years through our Strengthening Medicare – GP Grants Program.
This funding is being delivered to recognise the crucial services provided by GPs for our community. After working tirelessly throughout the pandemic and beyond, our GPs deserve more than thanks.
That’s why the Albanese Government is giving local clinics the resources they need through the $220 million fund, with $815,000 being delivered for GPs in Hawke.
Sam Rae, Federal Member for Hawke said “We’re making it easier for local families to see their GP and making sure they have the resources they need to keep caring for our community.”
The Albanese Labor Government is also supporting GPs by tripling the bulk-billing incentive with an investment of $3.5 billion.
Commencing on the 1st of November, the increased bulk-billing incentive will be paid on top of the standard Medicare benefit when doctors bulk-bill children under 16, pensioners and other Commonwealth concession card holders.
This is the biggest investment in Medicare since it was formed – and will mean more doctors can bulk-bill in Hawke.
Sam Rae, Federal Member for Hawke said “Locals will benefit with more doctors able to offer bulk-billed appointments thanks to the Albanese Government’s record investment in Medicare.”
