GPs WANT SUPPORT FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
THE Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) urges government support for GPs and teams aiding flood-affected communities, emphasising mental health care. RACGP Vice President Dr Michael Clements has requested additional resources from Federal Health Minister Mark Butler and Queensland Health Minister Shannon Fentiman. Proposals include allowing eligible patients up to 20 Medicare-subsidized mental health consultations over 12-18 months. The RACGP also seeks funding for GPs to access Focussed Psychological Strategies Skills Training to offer advanced mental health care in regions without local mental health services. The College emphasises general practice sustainability for better disaster preparedness.
