There are concerns a new tax on GPs and Allied Health Professionals will leave Victorians without access to vital services.
Mildura MP Jade Benham has joined her Nationals colleagues in calling for the health tax to be withdrawn immediately, saying it’ll impact the viability of medical clinics by backdating payroll tax.
She says people who live in rural and regional areas face poorer health outcomes than those in metro areas.
The Victorian Nationals and Liberals recently hosted around 30 GPs and representatives from peak medical bodies to hear first-hand the detrimental impact of Labor’s Health Tax.
Shadow Minister for Health, Georgie Crozier said, “It will have huge ramifications for Victoria’s strained health system and will only make it harder for Victorians to see a doctor.”
