RACGP President Dr Nicole Higgins says individuals are receiving their major healthcare in numerous locations versus from their GP.
“What we would prefer is that everybody works together in a team-based approach,” she instructed Sky News Australia.
She mentioned there’s a workforce scarcity throughout the “whole primary care sector”.
“It’s not just GPs, it’s nurses – we’re 8,000 short – it’s pharmacists, it’s paramedics.
“So borrowing from one profession to fill a hole in another – that’s not the solution.”
