YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE GP FOR FREE.
The average out of pocket cost to see a GP is now over $40 – on top of skyrocketing rents, groceries, petrol and other bills.
It’s no wonder that more than 1 million Australians delay or forego GP appointments each year due to cost.
No one should have to skip out on seeing a health professional when they need it.
Neither of the major parties will make the change we need. Both have overseen massive increases in out-of-pocket costs to see the GP.
It's clear: we can't keep voting for the same two parties and expecting a different result.
The Greens have a plan to make it free to see a GP, dentist, nurse or psychologist at one of 1,000 new free healthcare clinics across the country.
- Support a return to bulk-billed GP appointments, triple the bulk-billing incentive for Medicare card holders.
- Establish 1,000 free public healthcare clinics, allowing people to see a GP, dentist, nurse, or psychologist at no cost.
- Make dental healthcare free under Medicare.
- Make mental health sessions unlimited under Medicare, removing the cap on subsidised sessions.
- Pay GP trainees equally to hospital trainees.
