It has been buggered for years! an attempt to fix was Medicare levy or private health insurance - that is a failure of policy.
Given the cases in WA, NT and QLD of COVID in the last 2 years - They should be Wait List free! Can you give the current capacity over the last 6 months for these states?
Not disagreeing, but this is where we are- Yes, there has been chronic underfunding. but that is the reality of our situation, and those who choose to not alleviate it by getting vaccinating will just make it worse.
