How is GP consultations funded in Australia?
Medicare
Standard GP consultations (Level B, item 23) attract a Medicare rebate; the current schedule fee is on MBS Online. A bulk-billing GP accepts the rebate as full payment — you pay nothing. A GP who does not bulk-bill sets their own fee and you pay the gap after the rebate.
Private health insurance
Private health insurance extras may cover some allied health but NOT standard GP visits. Medicare is the primary funding mechanism for GP consultations in Australia.
When paying privately for GP consultations makes sense
Your local GP isn't bulk-billing
Bulk-billing rates vary by area. Telehealth GP services publish their own fees; the table above names each with its source, so you can compare it with your practice's gap.
You need to be seen today
Telehealth GPs often offer same-day appointments. Walk-in GP clinics may have a wait.
You need an after-hours consultation
After-hours GP clinics, home doctor services and telehealth GPs see patients outside business hours. Ask about the fee and any bulk-billing before booking.
You need a specific service (travel health, skin checks)
Specialist GP services like travel vaccinations, mole mapping, and executive health checks are often private-only.
What to check before booking
- ✓Check if the provider bulk-bills (you may pay nothing)
- ✓Ask about the gap fee before your appointment
- ✓Check whether a telehealth consultation attracts a Medicare rebate — it depends on the item billed and your eligibility
- ✓AHPRA registration of the consulting GP
