Your Federal Member for Calwell

 

 

“Recent suggestions that the Federal Government may change the long standing practice of having the salaries of GPs who are employed by community health services funded through bulk-billed reimbursements are quite worrying.”

“Residents in the electorate of Calwell have seen first hand the Governments attempts to dismantle bulk billing, between the year 2000 and 2004 the rate of bulk billing in the Calwell Electorate has plummeted by 9.2%”

“Families need a reliable Medicare system that lets them easily access a Bulk Billing GP, given the shortage of GPs in the Broadmeadows area Government policy should be about encouraging more doctors work locally." said Maria Vamvakinou

“Only Labor is committed to quality health care for all Australians. A future Labor Government will work to restore the national bulk billing rate to 80 per cent.”
