Counting down until staff begin moving into the new Canberra Hospital Critical Services Building on August 17. Dr Clair Bannerman is one of many doctors who will be moving across. She says the orientation tours and transition rostering has been "exceptional". Would you agree?

Payroll tax: Qld to rule direct GP payments exempt medicalrepublic.com.au/payroll-tax-ql… Victoria becomes the laggard state. We used to pride ourselves on innovation! Progress! Enlightened thinking 🤔! Waiting! @timpallas A rally and other action soon. .@ausgpalliance @RACGP @amavictoria
GPs and their patients can tonight breathe a sigh of relief, with the Government announcing it won't be pursuing a tax crackdown on doctor's practices. @TimArvier9 #9News
As @lucybladen reports some ACT practices have hiked appointment fees due to the newly applied payroll tax on independent contractor GPs. We need action, or patients will miss out on the care they need and pressure on health system will grow. #PatientTax braidwoodtimes.com.au/story/8348682/…
Great news! The Qld Govt has announced that GP services will not be subject to extra payroll tax – a move that will help keep essential general practice care affordable. As a Queensland GP and practice owner, I know this is a win for GPs, practice teams and patients. #PatientTax
In meeting after meeting GPs have told the Barr Govt they’d have no choice but to pass the new tax on to patients. @amapresident @RACGPPresident @ABarrMLA @ElizabethLeeMLA
Some general practices have started to hike appointment fees, claiming the newly applied payroll tax has forced the price rise, reports @lucybladen canberratimes.com.au/story/8348682?…

Thursday this week is #RUOKDay2023. We're sharing messages from doctors on the importance of asking 'RUOK', and ensuring they know how to get help when they need it. Hear from AMA (ACT) President-Elect and Drs4Drs ACT Medical Director Dr Kerrie Aust about how Drs4Drs can help.
