Government’s $2.4 billion health plan to fight COVID-19 should also include physiotherapy

It provides much needed Medicare bulk billing services for telehealth consultations with GPs and specialists, nurses and mental health allied health workers.
However primary care treatment by physiotherapists for at-risk groups should also be included.
