12 April 2024

We've written to ABC management to raise serious concerns about allegations of Medicare rorting by anaesthetists that aired on Monday 8 April in the ABC TV Four Corners episode “Pain Factory”.

• Read the letter to ABC management.

We also issued a statement calling for tougher controls on who can perform pain implant device procedures, and highlighted the need to protect patients through a national pain device implant registry and a national model of implanted pain treatment care.
