to the high standards we in Australia expect of our health care professionals."

Dr Haikerwal met with Mr Abbott and local GPs in Manly today as part of Family Doctor Week, an AMA initiative to highlight GPs' important role in keeping Australia healthy.

"It's important that the Government makes general practice an attractive career choice for young doctors," Dr Haikerwal said.

"That means cutting the paperwork burden on family doctors, allowing them to spend more time with their patients, ensuring indemnity premiums are not disproportionately high for part-time doctors, keeping general practice financially competitive with other specialisations and supporting GP-led healthcare teams.

"GPs look after the health of all Australians. Let's make sure Australia looks after its GPs."
