Register now! Webinar: Understanding bulk billing changes for GPs and practices
The Australian Government Department of Health, Disability and Ageing invites GPs and general practice staff to attend a webinar on upcoming changes to bulk billing. Webinar content will include:
the expansion of bulk billing incentives to all Medicare-eligible Australians.
the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP).
From 1 November 2025, these changes will:
provide additional funding to GPs and practices that bulk bill their patients
establish the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program which will provide an additional 12.5% incentive payment when GPs and their practice bulk bill all eligible patients for all eligible services.
support patients to access the primary care services they need.
The webinar will demonstrate how more than 4,800 practices will be financially better off if they switch to bulk billing, explain how to join BBPIP, and provide time for a Q&A.
