Registering with a Doctor
Arrived in Adelaide 2 weeks ago with my aussie husband. Done the rounds of medicare, bank, driving licence, centrelink, ATO etc etc.
Just wondering - should I be registering with a doctor? Not sure if its like the UK where you have to register at a local doctors practice. (you'd think hubbie would know the answer - but he just looked at me blankly!!)
Thanks

Re: Registering with a Doctor
I do not know about Adelaide but I do know there are areas in Melbourne and some country towns in Victoria where its difficult to get on a doctors list.
My mother has to go to my doctor because where she moved to the doctors are not taking any new patients.
We do have a shortage of GP's and the further out one lives the less doctors there are around.
