Webinar - Understanding bulk billing changes for GPs and practice managers

GPs and practice managers are invited to attend a webinar about the upcoming changes to bulk billing, including:

• the expansion of bulk billing incentives to all Medicare-eligible Australians.
• the commencement of 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 BBPIP 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.

Register for one of the webinars below to learn how more than 4,800 practices will be financially better off under these arrangements.

Webinar dates and times:

• Wednesday 6 August at 4 pm - 5 pm AEST
• Friday 8 August at 1 pm - 2 pm AEST

Speakers:
Bianca McCulloch - Director, Bulk Billing Clinic Design and Implementation Section
Imogen Colton - Director, General Practice Section
Jacob Grooby - Director, MBS Affordability Section
Rachel Macaulay - Acting National Manager, Provider Branch, Services Australia

If you can’t attend the live webinar, the recording will be available by Monday 11 August 2025 on the department's website.
