• The collapse of large insures such as HIH and Unitel Medical Protection which have resulted in levies which doctors have to pay
• Increasing litigation and cost of liability insurance
• Failure of the government to adjust their recommended medical fees (Medical Benefits Schedule or MBF) to keep up with inflation and the rising cost of running a medical practice.

76% of doctors recently surveyed by “Australian Medicine” indicated that they would be increasing their fees to compensate for the higher overheads they had to pay.

34% of doctors surveyed will be paying medical insurance levies of more than $9000 per annum.
