Minister, how will the recent announcement of the general practitioners grant program benefit my electorate of Bellarine?
I have had discussions with constituents about the limited availability of GPs on the Bellarine and in surrounding areas.
While the government has stepped in to ensure there are options to get the care they need, whether that be the urgent care clinics, the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department, Nurse-on-Call or our community pharmacist statewide pilot, I am very pleased to see a second round of this grant program has opened up to encourage more medical graduates to take up a career in general practice.
I look forward to hearing an update from the minister to share with my electorate.
