Investing in Primary Care Infrastructure
Summary from Health Reform Website:-
The Australian Government will invest $355 million for up to 23 new GP Super Clinics and to upgrade around 425 general practices, primary care and community health services, and Aboriginal Medical Services to improve access to integrated GP and primary health care.
How will this initiative work?
Around 23 new GP Super Clinics will be provided, comprising:
* .approximately 9 new large GP Super Clinics. In addition to doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, these clinics are expected to include more specialised services such as renal dialysis, minor surgical procedures, rehabilitation services, radiology and state funded services. They will have significant capacity for inter-professional clinical training and education.
* approximately 14 new medium GP Super Clinics will also provide access to a wide range of health professionals and services, scaled to suit a smaller population than the large clinics.
Three streams of funding will be provided to build the capacity of about 425 existing general practices, primary care and community health services, and Aboriginal Medical
Services to deliver GP Super Clinic style services:
* Grants of up to $150,000 will be available to existing general practices, primary care and community health services, and Aboriginal Medical Services to expand or upgrade, for example, allied health services or provide accommodation for an additional GP or practice nurse.
* Grants of up to $300,000 will be available to existing facilities that, for example, expand or upgrade accommodation for additional doctors, allied health professionals or practice nurses, strengthen team based care services and offer extended hours.
* Grants of up to $500,000 will be available for existing facilities that, in addition to the previously identified elements, also establish teaching facilities and transition to a GP Super Clinic style facility.
Direct and competitive grants will commence in 2010-11 to establish medium and large GP Super Clinics. Competitive grants will also be available to upgrade and extend existing primary care services.

Health reform overview
Australian Health reform is designed to significantly improve and modernise Australia’s health system. This will mean the largest change to our health, hospitals and aged care system since the introduction of Medicare.
Health reform will deliver better health and hospital services by:
* Helping patients receive more seamless care across sectors of the health system;
* Improving the quality of care patients receive through performance standards and improved engagement of local clinicians; and
* Providing a secure funding base for health and hospitals into the future.

Healthcare Provider
Wikipedia:
A health care provider or health professional is an organization or person who delivers proper health care in a systematic way professionally to any individual in need of health care services.
Today the health care industry is considered as one of the largest industry throughout the world. And this health care industry includes thousands and thousands of hospitals, institutions which will provide primary, secondary & tertiary level of care. To deliver this care, these health care industries require health care workers, and among these health care workers most of them will be nurses busy in providing care to each & every patient in all aspect. And it has been seen that, throughout the decades the health care workers i.e. nurses have manually adjusted hospital equipments and have provided care to the patients. Manually adjusting the hospital equipments and repetitive manual handling human loads is a physically challenging job and it often causes work related musculoskeletal disorders or other injuries.
