The RACGP has provided a submission to the federal department of health regarding the draft Primary Healthcare 10 Year Plan.
The RACGP submission responds to the action areas set out in the Plan and promotes the development of a sustainable model of high-quality, cost-effective and patient-centred primary care. The submission raises concerns around stagnating funding for general practice, a shift towards capitated funding models and the need for the Primary Health Care 10 Year Plan to introduce cost-effective reforms and investments in primary care.
