Rural clinics $900K short as Medicare funds just 25% of team care

A Senate inquiry has heard that fee-for-service Medicare covers only about a quarter of the cost of Aboriginal community-controlled multidisciplinary care, leaving clinics roughly $900,000 short per site compared with standard GP clinics. The evidence points to a payment-architecture failure in remote primary care, where disease burden is more than double the national average. Health system leaders should watch for a shift toward needs-based block funding.
