The Australian government has announced its plan to take away bulk billing incentive payments for pathology tests from 1 July 2016.

Cuts to pathology bulk billing will mean patients may have to pay for tests, pathology services could close and jobs could be lost. In short, your healthcare will suffer.

We can fight these cuts to pathology. Public pressure has stopped similar threats to healthcare before.

We need to raise public awareness of how this will affect healthcare and demand that the government keeps pathology accessible to all Australians.

Sign the petition, email your state senators, the Health Minister and the Prime Minister to tell them to stop cuts to pathology bulk billing.

Email your state senators

Email your senators to show them that Australians support bulk billing for pathology and care about the planned cuts.

Contacting senators will encourage them to block the proposed cuts in the Senate and save bulk billing for pathology tests.
