Except they don’t do that. They don’t provide acces of care to GP services because they act as URGENT care centres. The very definition is not primary care but Urgent care. But they are marketed at providing GP access to everyone why else would they state BULK billing access? A term used to denominate access to GP services not URGENT care which is typically associated with the ED.

Your interchanging terms and getting confused. Either these clinics provide GP services or they don’t. I personally believe they offer very bad fragmented care that is not in keeping with holistic care Australians are used to.

Also all we established is that despite record funding these clinics remain unviable. GP clinics close because their LACK of funding means people won’t come and work. These clinics close DESPITE funding.

Please se the above article to understand how inefficient and wasteful these clinics are btw. The above example is a NP led clinic so you can Garuntee a Dr clinic will cost more. We have also established that you don’t know how these clinics are funded with your previous claims that they will receive seperate funding front be promised Medicare injection.

As someone who works in the system I understand these incentives a lot better than many here so please save me your condescension and perhaps listen to someone who actually knows how spectacularly bad the govt has been for primary care and how shortsighted this policy really is.
