Doctors' rise to cost $104m
The Federal Government argued before the Medical Fees Tribunal that the AMA fee list would raise medical benefits by about 104.5 million, noting doctors’ incomes rose 60 percent over four years while average weekly earnings grew 44 percent. Government proposals included subdividing GP consultations, a $1 out of hours cap, and a new home attendance rate, while opposing uniform fee hikes across states. The AMA presented higher increases and the tribunal was urged to determine fair and reasonable fees for GP visits and all other services.
