This week’s Federal Budget focussed on easing cost of living pressures and there were several key announcements that could impact GPs!

One take-away is that from 1 July 2021, the cost of obtaining COVID-19 tests required to attend a place of work will be tax deductible to employees. This also ensures that these expenses will be exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax for employers who provide tests or reimburse these costs to their employees!

Initiatives within the Federal Budget include $4.9 million to support quality improvement within General Practice, as well as $106 million to provide a permanent committment to Telehealth.

Welcome to 1-2-3 Thursday where we promise to bring you no more than three pieces of highly valuable interesting information, just for you. Please enjoy!

As always, our newsletters aim to keep you informed on the latest news, changes, updates, special announcements and more.
