Buried under paperwork? Report claims Aussie GPs have it easier than other countries
The US think tank specifically praised Provider Connect Australia for cutting down admin burden.
Do Australian GPs have things easy when it comes to the pain of paperwork?
That’s the conclusion of US think tank the Commonwealth Fund, which surveyed 10,895 GPs across 10 developed nations for its 2025 International Health Policy Survey of Primary Care Physicians.
It found that Aussie GPs spent 15% of their working time on administration, compared with 21% in the UK, 23% in the US and 26% in New Zealand.
Some 32% of Australian GPs reported being burnt out, of whom 21% cited their administrative burden as the main reason.
