Victoria will end direct surgeon billing to WorkSafe and TAC by 2026–2027 over fraud concerns, replacing it with hospital-wide payments to curb false claims.
Surgeons in Victoria can no longer directly bill WorkSafe or the TAC for public hospital procedures, starting in 2026 and 2027, after fraud allegations involving millions in false claims.
The change replaces direct billing with a single payment to hospitals to reduce incentives for inflated or fraudulent claims, following investigations into surgeries never performed and excessive fees.
While insurers say funding and care quality will be maintained, some surgeons warn the shift may push specialists to private hospitals and lead to cost-cutting in public services.
