The Australia Institute has recently released a paper presenting data collected for our Measuring what Matters indicators; which looks at access to primary health care. The paper begins by presenting new data on why people say they wish to see a doctor and then reports the degree of difficulty that Australians experience when attempting to make an appointment. The paper concludes with new data suggesting that the majority of Australians would be willing to see a nurse practitioner for a wide range of services now commonly provided by doctors.
The report is available online at

MEET the super nurse who saves the NSW Department of Health $1.5million a year by helping to keep our elderly out of hospital.
Debbie Deasey is a nurse practitioner specialising in aged care and treating chronic illnesses who visits patients at their homes.
"I assess and treat patients who might be bed-bound and unable to get to their GP or who can't go to the hospital and wait," she said. "It saves on ambulance and hospital admissions. Much of the time people improve more at home than they do at hospital."
