Rebates, Medicare and bulk-billing

Medicare: what it covers, eligibility

Medicare helps with some of your health care costs. It provides affordable, accessible and high quality healthcare for all Australian citizens and eligible residents.

Bulk-billing services

Bulk-billing is a service health professionals can offer to patients with a Medicare card. A ‘bulk-billed’ appointment is free, because treatment is paid by Medicare.

How to claim rebates for medical expenses

You can claim benefits for some health expenses through Medicare or through your private health provider.
