Struggle to attract GPs to community care sparks funding plea
NGO, whose mobile doctor service has been forced to close, wants the new government to revamp Medicare for community health primary care
The incoming Federal Government must address the funding shortage in community health primary care that is making it impossible to recruit doctors, says the operator of a mobile health service that has been forced to close because it can’t find GPs to staff it.
Cohealth had provided healthcare for people experiencing homelessness out of a bus travelling around Melbourne’s CBD since 2018.
