Strengthening Medicare aims to improve 4 priority areas for primary care reform:

  1. Increasing access to primary care
  2. Encouraging multidisciplinary team-based care
  3. Modernising primary care
  4. Supporting change management and cultural change.

Learn more about the practical ways these are going to be achieved and how we will support this as an organisation below.
