02 July 2010 Medicare Locals boundaries
The Australian General Practice Network (AGPN) has provided a report to the Federal Government suggesting potential geographic boundaries for primary health care organisations, to be known as ‘Medicare Locals’. Communities and health professionals now have the opportunity to comment on the boundaries suggested by the AGPN and we encourage all GPs to provide their feedback. For more information on how to make a submission, visit www.yourhealth.gov.au/medicarelocal by 30 September 2010. It is anticipated that the first group of Medicare Locals will commence operation in mid 2011, with the remainder commencing in mid 2012.
