Help Protect Your Access to Telehealth with Nurse Practitioners!

From 1 November 2025, Medicare rebates for Telehealth consults with Nurse Practitioners will be restricted to patients who’ve had a face-to-face visit in the past 12 months.

This change will make it harder for many Australians - especially in rural and regional areas, veterans, and those with mental health conditions - to access safe and affordable healthcare.

Please take a moment to fill out this quick form. It will generate a letter that you can send to Minister Mark Butler or your local MP to voice your concern.
