"There are incentives for GPs to bulk-bill children and Commonwealth concession card holders. But these do not cover working Australians, for many of whom the out-of-pocket cost of GP visits will cause financial stress.

Patients in GP deserts are bulk billed six percentage points less than the national average."theconversation.com/too-many-australians-miss-out-on-essential-medical-care-every-year-heres-how-...#womenshealth ...
