From 1 November 2025, the Australian Government is expanding bulk billing incentives to cover all Medicare-eligible patients. Practices that choose to bulk bill all patients for all consultations may also join the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP), which offers a quarterly 12.5% incentive payment.
The Medicare rebate for standard GP consultations remains well below the actual cost of delivering quality care. Even with the new incentives, the income generated from bulk billing does not cover rising operational costs.
To continue offering lengthy consultations, comprehensive care, and timely access, we must maintain a mixed billing model. Bulk billing all patients would compromise our ability to invest in staff, technology, and facilities.
We believe in spending time with our patients to address complex and chronic health needs. The current Medicare structure rewards shorter visits, which does not align with our commitment to thorough, patient centered care.
Our mixed billing model allows us to continue bulk billing eligible appointments such as Care plans, health assessments and children 8 and under while ensuring the practice remains viable.
