In 2016, 106,634 medical practitioners were registered in Australia. Australia’s GPs see more than two million patients each week, and support Australians through every stage of life. The scope of general practice is unmatched among medical professionals, so the RACGP supports members to be involved in all areas of care, including aged care, mental health, preventive care and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. New research details how the threat of medical liability litigation hovers over physicians like a cloud and imposes rising costs on the nation’s health system. More than one in three physicians, 34 percent, have had a medical liability lawsuit filed against them at some point in their careers, says one of three trend reports published by the AMA’s Division of Economic and Health Policy Research. The longer physicians are in practice, the likelier it is that they will have experienced a lawsuit. Nearly half of physicians 55 and older report having been sued, compared with just 8 percent of doctors younger than 40. Female physicians are less likely to be sued than their male counterparts, part of which is attributable to differences in age and specialty.

Age structure 2018 census : 0-14 years: 17.75% (male 2,138,080 /female 2,027,583), 15-24 years: 12.62% (male 1,520,528 /female 1,442,461), 25-54 years: 41.35% (male 4,944,587 /female 4,760,752), 55-64 years: 11.84% (male 1,379,681 /female 1,398,177), 65 years and over: 16.44% (male 1,786,595 /female 2,071,701) (2018 est.). It is clear that the total of individuals between 25-64 yrs ( 53.19% of the Australian population ) amounts to a significant potential market for e-COURT℠ Counsel / Consult ( Advice ) Providers.
