The Queensland Government will open a nurse clinic to provide GP-style care in central Brisbane, which the RACGP says will harm nearby GP practices and waste taxpayers’ money.

The state’s Minister for Health, Shannon Fentiman, announced plans for four nurse-led women’s health clinics back in March, at a cost of $46 million.
