First bushfires, now pandemic strikes as GP faces financial havoc
Dr Kate Manderson says the financial hit to her practices could mean wage cuts

Dr Kate Manderson says the rollout of the new MBS telehealth items, along with the Federal Government’s JobKeeper payments, are a lifeline that means she will not have to close services.
