Mornings With John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Dr. Michael Clements, Chair of RACGP Rural Council, Royal Australian College General Practitioners, about government changes to Distribution Priority Area classifications which could affect the location choices of doctors. The changes could effectively disincentivise general practitioners from moving to regional parts of Australia. Whilst Cairns may see some positive flow-on effects, neighbouring rural towns could be negatively impacted. Dr. Clements provides valuable insight into the ongoing situation.
