Visiting a pharmacist instead of the doctor in Canberra could become the new norm.

Out of pocket costs to see the G.P. Is turning people away from seeing a doctor. So many are going to the Hospital instead, or waiting between three and four weeks to see a G.P. Who bulk bills.

In every state and territory, – EXCEPT VICTORIA – PHARMACISTS are now being retrained… they’re being taught to deal with 20 relatively easy-to-treat conditions .. to help cut the wait..

These include contraception.. and basic respiratory illness
