The campaign is highlighting the real-world difference the reforms are having on patient care
More than 1000 GPs have signed Australian Doctor’s open letter calling for continued Medicare funding for phone and video consults.
Launched on Wednesday, the campaign is called 'Don’t Hang Up on Telehealth'.
