Salaried GPs would staff 1000 government clinics under Greens plan

These GP salaries would be tied to the average income of other GPs, the Greens said.

Thousands of GPs would work as government employees under a $54 billion primary care policy that the Greens say they would push on a minority Labor Government.

The plan, announced on Thursday, includes extended the tripled bulk-billing incentives to non-concessional patients as well, 20% higher rebates for level C and level D GP consultations and paying GP registrars the same as hospital trainees.
