WHEN YOU NEED HELP, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE GP FOR FREE.
Healthcare costs are spiralling out of control for most Australians.
Many are being forced to choose between food on the table, paying rent, and seeing a doctor when they need it.
The Greens have a plan to improve the health of our community, while bringing down the cost of living. We’re fighting for outcomes for ordinary people.
And we’ll pay for it by making big corporations pay their fair share of tax – ensuring you can see a GP, dentist, nurse or psychologist with no out of pocket costs at a local public healthcare clinic.
OUR PLAN FOR ACCESSIBLE & QUALITY HEALTHCARE
- Support a return to bulk-billed GP appointments, by tripling the bulk-billing incentive for all people with a Medicare card.
- Establish 1,000 free healthcare clinics, allowing people to access a GP, dentist, registered nurse or psychologist with no out-of-pocket costs.
- Support our trainee GP workforce by paying them equally to their hospital trainee counterparts.
- Ensure that everyone who holds a Medicare card can access the essential dental healthcare they need for free.
We can't keep voting for the same two parties and expecting a different result.
If you want change, you have to vote for it.
“The Greens have a bold plan that will improve the health of our community, and bring down the cost of living.
We’re seeing people skipping regular appointments, prioritising their kids appointments over their own health, or not following up test results because going to the doctor has become too expensive.
This commitment from the Greens will save the community thousands of dollars a year in healthcare costs.
Together, let's build a future where your bank account doesn't determine whether you can afford to see the doctor. Join our campaign today to make it a reality.”
