What GPs Stand to Gain from November 2025

Starting 1st November 2025, the Australian Government will implement the most significant changes to bulk billing in decades. With a $7.9 billion investment, all Medicare-eligible patients will become eligible for bulk billing incentives, and practices that bulk bill every patient will receive an additional 12.5% incentive through the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program.

What does this mean for GPs?

Every Patient Brings an Incentive

From 1 November 2025, every single Medicare-eligible patient you bulk bill—regardless of age or concession status—will attract a bulk billing incentive.

More Revenue for Every Dollar Earned

Practices that choose to fully bulk bill will receive a 12.5% incentive on all eligible MBS services, shared between GPs and practices. That’s a direct financial boost on top of the Medicare benefit.

Significant Increase in Standard Payments

The Medicare payment for a standard GP consultation at a bulk billing practice will rise from $42.85 to $69.56—nearly 63% more than today.

Practice Growth & Sustainability

With higher Medicare payments and new incentives, practices can:

• Hire more staff

• Upgrade facilities

• Expand services

• Adopt better systems and technology

Stronger Support for Regional GPs

Bulk billing incentives will remain location-weighted, providing even higher incentives in rural and remote areas, up to 190% of metro rates under the Modified Monash Model.

Summary

This reform marks a major turning point for general practice – higher revenue, fairer compensation for GPs, and a stronger, more sustainable future for general practice.

Bulk billing has always been about providing care without financial barriers—but for many GPs, it’s meant lower earnings. That’s about to change.

💼 Earn More. Grow Faster. Provide Better Care.

With increased government funding, bulk billing is not only sustainable—it’s profitable.
