We're about to hear the outcome of Mark Butler’s “unleashing the power of the medical workforce”review & I expect it will come out saying that any health professional who thinks they’re good enough can pop up their shingle & be a GP substitute. It’s happening already. Is this OK?

My heart goes out to many people, especially one young policewoman. I hope she’s ok. #bondi #westfield #tragedy.

Dr Nick - this is the single biggest threat to general practice & affordable patient care. NSW political parties were completely silent leading up to the election - cowards. It’s guaranteed my practices will increase fees by $15+ immediately. @RACGPPresident @RACGP #sicktax
Strongly agree with @amapresident It's hard to see this as anything other than a play by States and Territories to cost shift Medicare money into their treasuries. It will make primary care more expensive and erode any benefit from rebate increases. It's a tax on patients.

Over to you @racgp @RACGPPresident @amapresident : who do we vote for? Both the @NSWLabor & @nswliberalhq have been silent on this issue. It’s as if they don’t care…
Woo hoo @ChrisMinnsMP : but what are you & the @NSWLabor going to do about the #sicktax? The impending #payrolltax debacle will decimate #generalpractice and put even more pressure on the public hospitals. #whogetsmyvote?@RACGP @RACGPPresident @amapresident #auspol

Say no to the #sicktax. Still waiting to hear from @NSWLabor @nswliberalhq about their stance on #payrolltax for GPs. Their silence is telling: THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU AS A PATIENT. they don’t care about how much it costs you.
Our health system is in crisis and we need action. As @savannahmeacham reports - more and more practices are walking away from bulk billing. The solution lies in boosting investment in general practice care so that no patients are left behind. #Medicare 9news.com.au/national/bulk-b…

Hey @NSWLabor @nswliberalhq @timothycjames STILL WAITING!?!?!!! @RACGPPresident @RACGP @amapresident any advice on how to get answers from the “powers that be”???

The situation is growing desperate. Governments must act now to stop this new Sick Tax in its tracks. Otherwise, practices will have little choice but to charge patients more or shut up shop for good. #SickTax
‘The state treasurers and premiers need to understand that there is no capacity in general practice to absorb this additional tax burden,’ says @RACGP Vice-President Dr Bruce Willett. bit.ly/3Fog0X3

So @NSWLabor @nswliberalhq what are you going to do? Big election coming up: who gets my vote? This issue needs an immediate solution. If you don’t YOU ATE INCREASING PATIENT COSTS. #AUSPOL
The Sick Tax will cripple general practice care. As @RACGP Mid North NSW Coast GP Dr Deb King told @JonesAlexandraR and Luisa Rubbo - smaller practices will be hit hardest, meaning regional and rural areas already starved of doctors will suffer the most. abc.net.au/news/2023-03-09/n…

Proposed changes to payroll tax by the NSW Govt could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Poor indexation of Medicare and rising costs have already put GPs on the back foot.
We need to invest more in general practice, not place more burdens on GPs.

Doctors are warning that NSW Government changes to payroll tax could result in the collapse of primary health care. The @ama_media says the government is redefining the way it applies payroll tax to medical practices. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

#medicare reform: TBH not a major factor for me #GP. #payrolltax debacle will have the biggest impact on your trip to the doctor. Our practice would need to raise fees by $15+ per consult. just to cover costs with zero profit. YOU CANT AFFORD THAT. #AUSPOL @RACGPPresident
