We have been involved in training and supervising many Doctors over the years, who have successfully obtained their Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, whilst under our supervision and mentor-ship. They have become Specialist GP's.
Congratulations to them and we wish them well in their future endeavours.
Unfortunately due to Medicare rules and restrictions regarding provider numbers most of these Doctors cannot remain and continue to work in Gatton. The Department of Health which controls provider numbers of Doctors, believes we have have adequate number of Doctors in Gatton and we are not rural enough to support our requests for additional Doctors unfortunately!! The access to the Medicare provider number allows Doctors to Bulk Bill through Medicare, and so restricts where doctors can work.
