While there is considerable research on the adequacy of After Hours medical care in Australia, there is little information on who provides that care and on the impact of financial incentives on care provision. Using data from the MABEL survey of clinicians, this study will explore who provides After Hours care (men, women, young, old, parent etc) and the relationships with their income, debt, wages etc. This information may provide direction for further targeting of policy measures to improve the level of After Hours care available in Australia.
