A Fresh Start for Health: First TassieDoc location announced in Burnie

10 July 2025

A Dean Winter Labor Government will start TassieDoc and deliver Tasmania’s first 100% free regular doctors’ clinics.

Today, I am proud to announce that the Burnie Health Hub on the North West Coast will be the first confirmed location for a TassieDoc clinic.

TassieDoc will deliver cost of living relief and easier access to the healthcare Tasmanians need by making it 100% free to visit a regular doctor in Burnie. All you’ll need is your Medicare card.

This is part of Labor’s broader plan to open five fully bulk-billed clinics across the state. The clinic will operate with extended hours, including evenings and weekends, and will offer both in-person and telehealth appointments.
 

The Albanese Labor Government’s Urgent Care Clinics have taken pressure off emergency departments, but a Dean Winter Labor Government will ensure Tasmanians can see a regular doctor for free.

TassieDoc will be run by a State Labor Government and be supported by the Federal Labor Government’s increased investment in Medicare - proving what can be achieved when a State Labor Government and a Federal Labor Government work together with one goal: better health outcomes for Tasmanians.

Labor is also investing in the workforce to make this plan work – offering scholarships for midwives and incentives to recruit and retain doctors across the state – ensuring quality care is available in every community.

After 11 years of the Liberals, Tasmanians shouldn’t have to wait any longer to see a doctor for free.

Labor is ready to act – it’s time for a fresh start.
