Gawd Mel, this is so sexist! So all women do a different kind of medicine than male GPs? Is that innate to women because they are, you know, more caring or something? By all means the rebate is hopeless, but to divide it neatly by gender? Aghhhh!https://twitter.com/MelissaLDavey/status/999468071357067264 …

If fixing our current 1970s fee-for-service funding system also lightens the gender imbalance in primary care rates of pay, I'd call it a double win I was surprised to see the stats, it's a bit appalling that even with fixed rates of reimbursement female GPs are paid less

completely agree. My point (and will say no more!) is that it cannot/must not be a solution to this to charge patients of all female GPs, no matter how they practice, more than male GPs, no matter how they practice.

Oh absolutely. I don't think anyone would disagree. I also wouldn't be surprised if the female GP in question wasn't actually earning more from this increase rate, it might just be the practice that is taking the extra fee
