Some more detail...

A Senate inquiry is a formal process where Parliament asks the public to share their experiences, to understand how laws and policies work in real life.

This inquiry is looking at how Medicare access and funding are experienced in rural, regional and remote Australia.

Your responses will help decision-makers understand what is working, what isn’t, and where unintended impacts may be occurring.

You are not being asked to judge policy or propose solutions. We are interested in your lived experience to inform our submission.

The following questions are about how healthcare is experienced in rural, regional and remote Australia.

There are no right or wrong answers.

We are interested in how current settings work, or don’t work, in communities where access, distance and workforce are different.

You do not need to know policy details to answer. We are interested in what you have experienced.
