Affordable, quality health care for your family.

Liberals to open five new GP bulk-billing clinics
A re-elected Liberal Government will open five new GP bulk-billing clinics.
These will be 100% bulk-billing practices.
We have already committed to provide a $3 million interest-free loan to build a new, 100% bulk-billing practice in Legana, providing around 30,000 more appointments in one of the fastest growing areas in the State.
We will support GPs around the State to establish clinics, either in existing community health infrastructure, or with interest-free loans and grants for practices to take on and retain doctors in other parts of the State – adding to the programs already put in place under a Liberal Government.
Meeting the needs of Tasmanians
We want Tasmanians to be able to access a doctor when they need one, not when they can afford one.
Powered by Medicare
This policy is supported by the Australian Government's commitment to strengthen Medicare.
Our Plan
Building an even better health system for Tasmania.
