Flat rate bulk-billing ignores the longer appointment times required for quality care and complex cases. We should be rewarding quality GPs who spend the time needed with their patients, not incentivise them to rush patients through. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
We've been promised more bulk-billing, but doctors say they can't deliver
Two new surveys have cast doubt on whether the signature health policy of this election campaign can be delivered.
