Abstract

AbstractAustralia's Medicare is at a mid‐life reflection point. This is not a moment for existential dread or rash actions. Instead, it is a time for age‐related improvement. Middle‐aged Medicare would benefit from policy that reflects the benefits of subtractive change to reduce its complexity. In addition, policies prioritising the use of data science to enact technologically innovative approaches would improve overall flexibility. Finally, policy can play an important role in strengthening connections between health profession cadres, incentivising them to work together at the top of scope. With education, practice, and policy collaborating, we can enable Medicare's wellbeing for years to come.
