New forecast tools and FAQs

Last week on Monday 1 July the new General Practice in Aged Care Incentive commenced, providing incentive payments to practices and general practitioners for delivering regular visits and care planning to older people living in residential aged care.

Eligible practices that meet the definition of a general practice can now register for the incentive, and link their Residential Aged Care patients to the incentive. 

New Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are now available for Aged Care Providers, GP’s and practices, and consumers and carers.
