## Resource

Regional GPs in Victoria are buckling under staff shortages and resource limits, forcing patients into emergency departments with worsening health outcomes. With months-long waits for routine care and chronic illness management slipping through the cracks, communities face escalating pressure on hospitals—and doctors are protesting poor pay and conditions. Despite some progress in rural recruitment, systemic policy gaps and financial incentives favoring cities keep the GP shortage from being solved, risking a full-blown crisis unless urgent action is taken.
