Last time we were in the balance of power, we won Dental into Medicare for kids. This time, we’ll secure it for everyone, and open free public health clinics across the country. |
In a wealthy country like Australia, we should have world-class, accessible health services. But each year millions of Australians will skip seeing the dentist or psychologist, simply because they can’t afford the cost.
This election, your vote is more powerful than ever. We’re on the cusp of securing dental and mental health into Medicare, but we need your help.
The last time the Greens were in the balance of power, we secured dental health into medicare for kids. This election, we have the chance to deliver it for everyone.
Because Griffith voted Green last election, we’ve already won more free GP visits. Labor and the Coalition have both committed to adopting our plan to triple the bulk-billing incentive rate for everyone, making it easier for anyone to see the GP for free. Greens pressure works, but we’re not stopping here.
The Greens have a plan to extend Medicare and fix the health crisis. We’ll fight to:
- Cover dental health under Medicare, so you can see a dentist without the massive bill.
- Ensure you can see the GP for free.
- Make mental healthcare free by removing the cap on subsidised sessions.
- Build 1,000 new public healthcare clinics where you can see a GP, dentist, nurse, or psychologist at no cost, including 6 right here in Griffith
- Ensure fair pay for GP trainees so more doctors choose general practice.
If you want change, you have to vote for it. If you vote 1 Greens, I’ll keep Peter Dutton out and get action on universal Medicare — so you can see a doctor, dentist or mental health professional when you need one.
