Labor built Medicare so you could see the GP for free. But after a decade of Liberal cuts, a free GP is too hard to find.
We’ll fix it with the biggest ever investment in Medicare. With Labor, you’ll be able to see the GP for free.
Our plan will:
Increase support for your local GP to offer bulk billing to everyone
Introduce a new incentive for GP practices that bulk bill every patient
Train more doctors and nurses
Our massive investments in bulk billing are already helping 11 million pensioners, concession card holders and families see a GP for free. Now we’ll keep building, so all you need is your Medicare card, not your credit card.
We’ve already opened 87 free Medicare Urgent Care Clinics across Australia. Now we’ll open 50 more. They open early and close late, so you can get the care you need, when you need it – without paying a cent.
