An IMG who recently left the beleaguered GP corporate Tristar says he and his colleagues were repeatedly begging for pay-cheques as the company went through 18 months of “financial stress”.

Dr Reno Riandito has worked his final shift at Tristar’s clinic in Wangaratta in rural Victoria, four years after joining the company as a new migrant from Indonesia.

The non-VR GP says he felt happy and supported in his clinical role at the company, which operates some 38 bulk-billing clinics, staffed by some 130 doctors, in rural and regional communities across Australia.
