The Department of Health and Aged Care has engaged KPMG to undertake a Review of General Practice Incentives across Australia. ACRRM will provide a submission to the Review and welcomes member feedback to guide our response.
Please email your view on the effectiveness and impact of the current incentives to policy@acrrm.org.au by Friday 8 December.
The Review is part of the roll out of the recommendations of the Strengthening Medicare Taskforce. It will aim to considerthe effectiveness and impact of the Practice Incentive Program (PIP) and the Workforce Incentive Program (WIP) and will identify considerations to enhance their effectiveness as funding models in the future.
The College has had an initial meeting with the consultancy team and is now seeking members’ insights to inform our formal submission. Practices across Australia will have opportunity to provide input to KPMG directly including through a survey, written submissions and workshops in selected regions.
Please contact the ACRRM policy team if you have any questions at policy@acrrm.org.au.
