📣 Important Update for Our Patients
We’ve received a few questions about the Government’s new Bulk Billing Incentive and wanted to take a moment to explain how it affects our clinic.

While this initiative offers additional support for some bulk-billed services, the increase does not cover the full cost of providing high-quality medical care. Running a modern medical practice involves rising costs — including qualified staff, medical equipment, compliance requirements, and maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for patients.

To ensure we can continue offering longer consultations, continuity of care, and access to experienced doctors, The Medical Centre of Gympie will remain a mixed billing practice. This means that while some appointments may still be bulk billed (for example, specific concession or care plan visits), most consultations will continue to attract a private fee with a Medicare rebate available.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we strive to maintain the standard of care our community deserves. 💙

If you have any questions about fees or rebates, our reception team is always happy to assist or you can discuss the fees with your doctor at your time of consultation.

Taking action early can improve your wellbeing, help you manage stress, and give you tools to cope with life’s challenges. 💪
