Resources for practices

Changes to bulk billing incentives commenced on 1 November 2025, with the Prime Minister and federal Health Minister repeatedly boasting that patients will 'only need their Medicare card, not their credit card'.

This means many GPs and practices will now have patients expecting to be fully bulk billed. To help, we've created a suite of print-ready posters practices can use to clearly explain the difference to patients, while outlining the true cost of providing healthcare.
