THE Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) has expressed support for an independent review of Medicare non-compliance and has urged the Australian Government to offer more assistance for general practice care in the upcoming May Budget.
 
The review was conducted by Dr Pradeep Philip and found that leakage in the Medicare system is mainly due to non-compliance errors caused by the complex system, rather than deliberate fraud.
 
RACGP President Dr Nicole Higgins welcomed the report's findings, which cleared GPs of any allegations of Medicare rorting.
 
She said that GPs are struggling with a fiendishly complex Medicare Benefits Schedule and that an educative, rather than a punitive approach from the Health Department, would be more beneficial.
 
The RACGP is committed to working with the government to simplify the system and provide more support for general practice care.

TRADEMUTT ADOPTS FOUR DAY WORKING WEEK

TRADEMUTT, Australia’s leading social enterprise workwear company, has shifted its five-day work schedule to four days to promote better work-life balance.

The change in schedule aims to show that reducing working hours per week can still maintain the required output and increase productivity, lessening stress and increasing profitability.

TradeMutt's founders, Daniel Allen and Edward Ross, encourage business owners across Australia to implement a four-day workweek and discuss with their staff how they can support this change.

Ross also highlighted that mental health and wellbeing should be prioritized as it can lead to more effective business operations.

The company is committed to supporting the mental health of blue-collar workers and donates 50% of its profits to This Is A Conversation Starter (TIACS), a free and confidential mental health support service.

TradeMutt designs eye-catching, colorful shirts to encourage conversations about mental health, already being worn by several well-known companies.

AUTISM GROUP ADVOCATES NAME CHANGE

AUTISM Spectrum Australia (Aspect) is advocating for a change in wording from World Autism Awareness Day to World Autism Understanding Day.

Considering this globally recognized day, Aspect consulted with the Autistic community to find out what they would most like others to know about Autism.

The overwhelming response was that no two Autistic people are the same, and Autism may not be what people think it is. Jacqui Borland, CEO of Aspect, supports this change in language as it can help educate the wider public, creating a more inclusive environment.

Borland encourages people to ask Autistic individuals about their experiences with Autism and offer support and resources.

Building a more inclusive environment is the responsibility of all, and a shift in language and response to disclosures can be a positive step towards this goal.
