Seeking member feedback – Consultation on Modernising Referral Pathways
Feedback deadline | 5pm AEDT, Monday 2 March 2026
A new consultation on ‘Modernising Referral Pathways’ has been released, seeking feedback on proposed reforms to Medicare referral rules. The consultation paper outlines strategies to improve patient understanding of referral rights, align
validity periods with the needs of those with chronic conditions, and simplify complex ‘single course of treatment’ billing requirements. The RACP is seeking member expertise to ensure these changes reduce administrative burden and
support high-quality consultant physician care. To access the paper and provide feedback click on the button below.
