Canberra Liberals propose $100,000 HECS debt incentive for medical students to work as GPs in ACT for 5 years.

The Canberra Liberals propose offering up to $100,000 to 30 medical students' HECS debt if they commit to working as general practitioners (GPs) in the ACT for five years. The plan includes establishing new walk-in centers in various locations and incentivizing after-hours care to ease emergency department pressures. Additional proposals include payroll tax exemptions for practices and expanded roles for pharmacists, aiming to enhance primary care access in Canberra.
