24.01.2022 Our very own Dr Barri Phatarfod has been nominated for the Australian Human Rights Commission 2018 Human Right's Medal, for her dedication to ensuring adequate heatlthcare for Refugees and Asylum Seekers. "Dr Phatarfod founded Doctors 4 Refugees five years ago, with the goal of helping asylum seekers and refugees access quality medical care, both on and offshore. Currently the membership is over 700 with more than 100 of these doctors including specialists actively reviewing ...the medical records and management of over 400 asylum seekers and refugees. Dr Phatarfod and her group challenged the Australian Border Force Act and its contentious Secrecy provisions, which were eventually removed. Dr Phatarfod was last year recognised by Amnesty as one of Australias top human rights defenders." https://www.humanrights.gov.au//2018-human-rights-medal-fi https://www.humanrights.gov.au//2018-human-rights-medal-fi

18.01.2022 We often receive requests to backdate referrals to specialists and often patients are disappointed when this can't happen. It's important to know that there is no option for GP's to easily do this. It is unlawful to backdate a referral and GP's should not agree to such requests. Under the provisions in the Commonwealth Health Insurance Act, stiff penalties can apply for making false or misleading statements in relation to Medicare. This can also lead to disciplinary action from AHPRA. Always make sure you see your GP ahead of your specialist appointment to organize a referral or request a repeat referral with some notice. It's also helpful to check whether your referral has expired when booking a specialist appointment.
