Nearly two-thirds of Australians now bulk-billed for all GP care

Almost two-thirds (63%) of Australians are now bulk-billed for all their GP visits, up from 56% in both 2024 and 2025, a report by the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has found. The share of GPs bulk-billing all patients more than doubled, from 12% to 26%, after government incentives, though experts caution that care quality also matters.
