The National Health Co-op has been broken up and sold off to private GP practices after a financial crisis ending in the hands of administrators. 

At one time Canberra’s largest provider of GP care, the not-for-profit has been controversial for offering bulk-billed consults while also charging patients $90 a year in membership fees.
