Increase to Medicare rebate a possibility
The health minister, Mark Butler, says an increase to the Medicare rebate is not off the table, as the federal government tries to address problems in Australia’s healthcare system.
Changes to the rebate are not off the table, affordability was a major pressure that we discussed at the task force.
[But] you can’t just put more money into the existing systems. The existing systems do not reflect the needs of Australians today.
This government said they were going to protect and restore Medicare and so far they’ve cut the number of sessions you can get funded with psychologists from 20 to 10.
[There’s] a bit of rhetoric but not much performance.
