Our small rural practice is moving from almost entirely bulk billing to 100% bulk billing on Nov 1. I’m interested to hear what’s happening with your doctor.

I’m hugely sympathetic to this.
Definitely anyone charging a fee to the patient, whether GP, or allied health, or specialist, should be getting nothing from Medicare. I also agree that public GP clinics ought to be a thing.
That said, given that there is not likely going to be a fundamental change in our model anytime soon, this is a good policy within our current framework.
