We will be a bulk billing practice from 1 November 2025.

This year, the Commonwealth Government announced significant new funding and incentives to encourage bulk billing. Currently, doctors receive a “bulk billing incentive” when they choose to bulk bill eligible patients. Up to now, this has only applied to children under 16 and holders of Commonwealth concession or health care cards.

From 1 November 2025, the Commonwealth is extending this incentive to all patients with a Medicare or Veterans Affairs card.

As a result, we are pleased to confirm that Hills Family General Practice will return to bulk billing all patients from this date.

We appreciate the Commonwealth’s additional support, which allows us to make this change. We will continue to monitor future policy and funding developments on a regular basis and will review our billing policy if incentives are withdrawn or fail to keep pace with rising costs.
