MBS Rebates for GP specialist Telehealth Consultations

Menopause is part of the aging process for women, however not everyone can cope with the overall changes in the body, physically and mentally.

It would be discrimination if wellfemme consultation was not Medicare rebatable !

Please help menopause assistance from these experts affordable + therefore achievable.

This is a god send! More help for menopause sufferers. And we do suffer!!

This is an essential service that should be accessible for all. I may never have received the support i need if this telehealth service did not exist.

This is a basic need and should NOT need a petition but here we are...

Great idea

Such an important service for women!

While I live in a reasonably closely settled area in the Central West, my closest access to an equivalent Wellfemme doctor is 2 hours away. I am one of those people who can afford to pay fees and travel but it doesn't make getting a physical appointment any easier and was so impressed with the access and ease of a Wellfemme appointment years ago when it was first set up. It should be available to all women and covered by medicare.

I have hesitated to make an appointment with Wellfemme because of cost so anything that will help make it more affordable it good with me.

We need to improve health outcomes for people living in rural/remote areas. The health disparities are shocking.

This is a critical and specialized service which I cant get anywhere in Adelaide - honestly - if these were issues experienced by a man we wouldnt even be having this conversation !!

Used the service and fully support it

I lived in a rural area with NO support from GPs here. They just offered me angry depressants which clearly I am not depressed. I suffered severe anxiety when I was in my 20s and DO NOT wish to go down that path again. I need pepper understanding help.. thats affordable! I just continue to go though, at times, horrendous symptoms whilst continuing to work.. please give us women a fair go!

This is a critical and specialized service and should be readily available for all women

Wellfemme supported me through a tough time with menopause when I thought I was on my own. No one had the answers I was looking for but Wellfemme provided guidance through online webinars. I note that many women and their families benefit (because menopause affects the entire family) seek help and consultation from this group.

We need this option in regional areas as we have not got many Drs to access who have this knowledge or care factor

Yay

It is time Australian women has life preserving high quality menopause services that prevent heart disease, osteoporosis and dementia.

I struggled to find a medical practice who understood. Everyone should have this opportunity it shouldnt be about cost it should be about broadening access.
