The Australian healthcare system is undergoing a major shift! With a rapidly ageing and demanding population, a rise in chronic diseases and a shortage of skilled health professionals, Medicare is under great pressure. With billions of dollars being injected into the healthcare system, the key questions remain – How will Medicare keep up? And how sustainable is the Medicare Benefit Scheme?
The 2nd Annual Future of Medicare event will review the updated Health Policy Reform, addressing the Government’s agenda on Medicare. There will be a strong focus on areas which are posing as the nation’s major challenges within healthcare such as the introduction of GP Super Clinics, managing chronic diseases, Indigenous healthcare, addressing red tape, aged care, the concept of taking a preventative measure towards healthcare, reviewing the role of general practice and much more.
This insightful two-day event is expected to attract a range of industry experts and will provide a platform for health professionals from both public and private sectors. Key decision makers in the Government, along with solution providers, health insurers, industry associations and academics Australia wide, will be under one roof to re-open the debate on the future of Medicare.
Come, join us and be an integral part of this two-day flagship event!
