What is known about the topic ? Governments acknowledge that current health arrangements are unsustainable, and a better resourced, integrated, and connected primary care system is central to the future. What does this paper add ? This paper calls out the most significant barriers to implementing the required national reform and poses potential solutions in addressing them. What are the implications for practitioners ? Without action, we will see increased system cost, and decreased service access and quality for Australian communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
