The MedicarePlus Aged Care Initiatives were announced on 18th November 2003.  Since this date there has been much discussion, angst and confusion relating to both measures announced, namely the Comprehensive Medical Assessment and the Aged Care GP Panels.  This section aims to disspell several myths circulating and provide concise answers to many questions being asked by Divisions of General Practice, General Practitioners, Practice Staff, Aged Care Homes and others.

If you have a question that is not answered in the information below please contact the site administrator via email or phone on (02) 6228 0821 or alternatively your relevant State Based Organisation of the Divisions Network or your State and Territory Office of the Department of Health and Ageing.
