From 1 November 2025, bulk billing incentive payment changes will expand the eligibility of bulk billing incentives to all Australians with a Medicare card.
All practices and GPs participating in the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) will equally share in an additional incentive payment of 12.5% of MBS billings for eligible services. The even BBPIP payment split recognises the roles played by both practices and providers in delivering bulk billed services to patients.
Expression of Interest
An Expression of Interest (EOI) form is available for providers that intend to join the BBPIP. Practices that complete the EOI form will be mailed communications material for their practice to display from 1 November when they register for BBPIP.
Registration for the BBPIP commences on 1 November 2025.
