My local doctor will be getting less under this arrangement. The benefits to the clinic are reduced bank fees and admin costs.

Has the damaged been done by not upping the rebate in the past ? Will doctors trust the government and bulk bill ? We will have to wait and see.

I would like to have seen that the rebate was indexed to inflation if I were a doctor.

Could you ask the state governments or AMA to publish on line a list of fully bulk billing Doctors and update it regularly.

What is the name of Nicola Fields bulk billing Dr. please?
