You may soon see headlines about “GPs returning to bulk billing.” We want to be upfront — this change does not apply to our practice.
At Tully Medical Centre and Mission Medical, we will continue to privately bill most consultations to ensure we can:
🩺 Spend time listening and providing thorough care
👩⚕️ Offer continuity with doctors who know you
🏡 Remain locally owned and support our community
We understand cost-of-living pressures and continue to bulk bill many chronic disease reviews and health assessments. Unfortunately, the current Medicare rebate still falls well short of covering the cost of providing quality, comprehensive medical care. If this affects you, we encourage you to raise the issue with your local federal MP, as this is a broader funding issue across general practice.
Thank you for valuing the time, care, and experience that keep independent general practice alive.
