In comparison to similar countries, Australians have a high level of access to general medical practitioners (1). In the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics Patient Experiences survey (2023-24), 82.6% of Australians had seen a general practitioner (GP) in the past year (2). This percentage generally increased with age, rising from 71% among 15-24 year-olds to 75% of those aged 25-34, 79% for the 35-44 age group, and reaching 84% among 45-54 year olds (2).
