For children under 16, the federal government pays a ‘bulk billing incentive’ which is an extra payment on top of the standard Medicare fee. This extra funding assists us to continue bulk billing children under 16 years of age.
We will also bulk bill 16-21 year old students who are not in full time employment and who are registered with us in MyMedicare. Please see our MyMedicare page for more information. However, in general, children 16 years and over will be charged the usual fee unless they hold a valid concession card.
