Every Australian has the right to bulk billed GP visits

22nd Feb 2025

Our Medical’s purpose has always been to increase access to quality primary healthcare for all. We believe that access to free primary healthcare, with the presentation of a Medicare card, is a fundamental right of all Australians, which is why we offer bulk billed GP consults every day of the year.

Additionally, the 12.5% Medicare loading payment for fully bulk billing GPs recognises the much needed action to properly fund bulk billed access to your GP.
