What bulk billing means at our Camberwell clinic
When a doctor bulk bills, they claim the Medicare benefit directly and accept it as full payment. You don't pay anything up front and there's no gap to claim back.
At Camberwell Health, every Medicare-eligible consultation with our general practitioners is bulk billed. That includes standard and longer appointments, so you can book the time you actually need for a care plan, a health assessment or a few things at once. You can read how the system works on the Services Australia website, or in our guide what is bulk billing and how does it work.
Book your appointment
Book online through HotDoc, call (03) 9882 0055 or walk in. Patients with a booking are seen first.
Bring your Medicare card
Bring your current Medicare card, plus any concession or DVA card. New patients should arrive 10 minutes early to register.
See your GP, nothing to pay
We bill Medicare directly for your consultation. If your GP suggests something that isn't covered, they'll explain the cost first.
What's bulk billed, and what isn't

About this information
This page explains bulk billing at Camberwell Health, a Quality Practice Accredited general practice at 676 Burke Road, Camberwell VIC 3124. Medicare rules and fees change from time to time, so please check with reception if you're unsure about a cost.
Bulk billing at Camberwell Health, answered
Do you bulk bill every patient?
We bulk bill every Medicare-eligible GP consultation for patients with a current Medicare card, whatever their age or concession status. Services that Medicare doesn't cover, such as work medicals and cosmetic treatments, have a private fee. Reception will tell you the cost before you book.
What if I don't have a Medicare card?
You can still see one of our GPs. A standard consultation without Medicare is $60, paid on the day, and longer appointments cost more. If you're eligible for Medicare but don't have your card with you, you can find your number in the Medicare app or myGov.
Are longer appointments bulk billed?
Yes. If you have a current Medicare card, longer consultations are bulk billed too. Book a long appointment for things like a care plan, a health assessment, a first antenatal visit or a few concerns at once, so your GP has enough time.
Are children bulk billed?
Yes. Children listed on a current Medicare card are bulk billed. Vaccines on the National Immunisation Program are free, and our practice nurse usually gives them after a consultation with your GP. See our guide to the childhood immunisation schedule.
Can I get a same-day bulk billed appointment?
Often, yes. Check HotDoc for today's times, or call reception. Walk-ins are welcome, but patients with a booking are seen first, so you may have a wait. If your concern is urgent, tell reception when you arrive.
Are telehealth appointments bulk billed?
Telehealth consultations that meet Medicare's rules are bulk billed. In most cases Medicare requires you to have seen a GP at our practice in person within the last 12 months. Read how telehealth appointments work, or ask reception if you're unsure.
Do I need to be a regular patient to be bulk billed?
No. New patients are bulk billed for in-person consultations from their first visit. Bring your Medicare card and arrive 10 minutes early to register. If you're moving to the area, see how to register with a local GP.
