Summary
Emergency doctors in Australia are fleeing the ER at alarming rates—nearly two in five plan to quit within a decade, with younger docs especially burned out. Overcrowding, “bed block,” and unsustainable workloads are crushing morale, forcing many to cut hours and sacrificing family life. Burnout is rampant, and while workplace bullying has dipped, verbal abuse from patients remains a daily reality. Fixing this requires massive investment in aged care and primary health services—and urgent accountability for the systemic bottlenecks holding the system hostage.
