MEDICARE UPDATE
At Peel Health Care, we remain dedicated to delivering thorough, personalised, and high-quality medical care to our community.
We value the trust you place in us and strive to ensure every consultation reflects our commitment to excellence, continuity, and compassionate care.
From 1st November 2025, the Australian Government will introduce changes to Medicare through the Bulk Billing Incentive Program (BBPIP). The BBPIP funding offered does not cover key costs involved in running a quality general practice – including nursing care, medical consumables and administration.
While these changes may prompt some practices to shift toward bulk billing, Peel Health Care has made the decision to continue operating as a private billing practice. This approach allows us to dedicate the time required for each consultation while maintaining the high standard of care you deserve.
We understand that the cost of healthcare is a genuine concern for many individuals and families and we encourage you to contact your local Federal Member of Parliament.
Warm regards,
Peel Health Care Management
