Episode Details

Victorians are facing four-year waits for specialist care, sparking a major overhaul to fix a broken system. New plans include regional waitlists, AI to flag urgent cases, and shifting more appointments to nurses to ease doctor overload. Virtual care will expand, unnecessary reviews will be cut, and patients will have more control over follow-ups. With 11% of appointments missed and kids waiting over a year for basic checks, the government is acting — especially for rural patients stuck in long drives and parking fees. This bold reform aims to slash delays, reduce waste, and finally deliver timely care to those who need it most.
