New National Insurance Scheme Proposed for Australia
A national health insurance plan, developed by Prof Brigden and Mr Casey, was submitted to a conference with the Medical Association and friendly societies in Melbourne. The plan aims to be compulsory for sickness and disablement with employer contributions and means tested adjustments. Government subsidies could reach £1,000,000 yearly, with benefits including weekly sums for the sick and dependents and options to join private schemes. The commission would be retained but scaled back, and Parliament is expected to consider the scheme soon.
