Josh has spent his days on the road, in clinics and communities, seeing firsthand what it's like out there.

Long waits. Hard-to-get appointments. Big travel time. Seeing a different face every visit.

This isn’t a future problem. It’s the everyday reality for people living bush, regional and remote.

That’s why we’re collecting real stories. These experiences will be shared directly with decision-makers through the national Senate Inquiry into Medicare access in rural Australia, so the reality on the ground can’t be ignored.

Because healthcare shouldn’t depend on luck, who you know or your postcode.

If this sounds like your experience, now’s the time to speak up.

Take the Medicare Rural Health Inquiry Survey, or share/tag someone who might want to: https://buff.ly/O7G3qVN

An important message from our founder, Laura Zimmerman, if you live rural or remote.

Your experience of accessing healthcare matters.

Right now, decisions are being made about Medicare, and the people shaping policy need to hear from those living the reality.

If this is your experience, please take a few minutes to share your story.

The survey is short (five questions, five minutes) but the impact could be much bigger than that.

Your voice belongs at the decision-making table.

Wait times stretch into months.
Care means long travel.
And continuity is slipping away.

This is the reality of rural, regional and remote healthcare. Yet reforms keep rolling out without asking: will this work rurally?

Here's your chance to speak up and share your real, lived experience.

🌾 Take the Medicare Rural Health Inquiry Survey: https://buff.ly/jGRSJEF

If you live rurally, you know healthcare often means extra travel, extra time, and a bit of juggling.

Macintyre Health is collecting real-life experiences from rural, remote and regional communities through a short survey. It’s a chance to share what accessing care is actually like where you live: what’s hard, what helps, and what makes a difference.

These stories will be shared with the Senate as part of the Medicare Inquiry, so decision-makers can hear directly from the people living it. All submissions will be de-identified and your privacy upheld.

If you’ve waited too long, driven too far, or watched services disappear, your story matters in this Medicare reform.

💉 Wegovy is coming to the PBS, but let’s clear up the confusion for our community.

This is not a blanket change, and it doesn’t affect PBS access to Ozempic for type 2 diabetes.

Wegovy’s PBS listing is for a very specific group, not diabetes alone.
Ozempic remains PBS-subsidised for people with type 2 diabetes. Nothing has changed there.

Read through for the facts, the eligibility, and what this means for you beyond the headlines.

🚨💧 PSA: Hot weather + dehydration can hit harder if you’re living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

A reminder from Kate Dunn, our Head of Rural & Remote Care, that staying on top of your fluids helps support blood glucose levels, energy and overall wellbeing (especially during long, hot days.)

In other words... PLEASE KEEP FILLING UP THOSE WATER BOTTLES!
