People could be hit with an extra 15 Dollars for a trip to the doctor in NSW. General Physician Dr Thiyagarajah Srikaran

Australia's peak body for General Practitioners warns people could be hit with an extra 15 dollars for a trip to the doctor, if New South Wales follows through with an additional tax. From August, medical practices will have to pay extra payroll tax for tenant doctors, who were previously classed as independent contractors and made exempt. General Physician Dr Thiyagarajah Srikaran explains the situation. Segment by Praba Maheswaran.
