The policy would include two components:

Component 1

1,000 Free Local Healthcare Clinics would be opened across Australia over 4 years (250 clinics per year). Clinics would be built on new sites and offer free primary care, with 6 clinics built per Federal electorate and the remaining distributed in consultation with States and Territories.

The first 250 clinics would come online from 1 July 2026. If clinics cannot be setup by that point,  space would be rented temporarily to accommodate the clinics until construction is finished.

Component 2

The Free Local Healthcare Clinics would be staffed by publicly employed doctors, nurses, dentists, psychologists, and allied health professionals paid professional salaries (equal to the average salary for that profession reported by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)).

Each clinic would employ:

• 1-5 salaried general practitioners (GPs)
  • Clinics would have 1 GP in the first year of the policy and increase by 1 GP every 2 years up to 5 GPs per clinic.
• 15 salaried registered nurses (RNs)
• 2 salaried dentists
• 1 salaried dental nurse or oral health therapist
• 2 salaried psychologists

The policy would start 1 July 2025.
