About this listen

 New Medicare data reveals 1,200 GP clinics across Australia have transitioned to fully bulk billing models following expanded federal government incentives, bringing the national total to 3,200 fully bulk-billing practices. While this represents nearly half of all GP clinics now offering 100% bulk billing, many Australians still face out-of-pocket costs of up to $50 for GP visits. Doctors warn that without increased Medicare rebates for longer consultations, these costs will continue to rise.
