We, GPs, need strong Leadership to take the voice of our profession to Politicians, Health Authorities and the community and tell them that enough is enough!

General Practice is to the point of starvation and death. 

Funders and Australians, beware, General Practice is at risk of dying, just like a starved dog!

"If you want to know how little food to feed a dog before it starves to death. You will only discover the answer once you have killed the dog."

We need urgent action to prevent the otherwise inevitable health care crisis that will occur when General Practice is totally unsustainable and no longer accessible and available to provide the most important primary care services to our communities.

We need a unified and unrelenting voice that calls for action and not platitudes, for both GPs and our patients.
