MEMBER BULLETIN - Australian Health Reform
The Prime Minster Kevin Rudd has today announced major reforms to Australia’s health system. The Division Network is currently reviewing these reforms and will provide a detailed review later today.
Seven key reforms have been identified:
- Taking majority funding responsibility for public hospitals
- Taking full funding and policy responsibility for GP and primary healthcare
- Rebalancing financial responsibility in the federation
- National standards for a unified health system
- Local Hospital Networks to drive accountability and performance
- Paying Local Hospital Networks directly for the services they provide
