Bulk Billed Telehealth GP — $0 Out of Pocket for Most Medicare Card Holders

Yes — for most Medicare card holders. General GP consultations are bulk billed for most Australians with a valid Medicare card, while sexual health consultations, consultations for children under 12 months, and urgent care after 11pm are bulk billed for every Medicare card holder. When a consultation is bulk billed, Medicare covers the full fee and you pay $0 out of pocket. Eligibility is checked automatically when you request a consult, and you'll know you're bulk billed before choosing your consult type. If you're not eligible, a standard consult is $45 (up to 10 minutes) or $59.

No. Bulk billing at Clinic Online is not limited to concession card holders — most Australians with a valid Medicare card qualify for bulk billed general GP consultations. There are no forms to complete; eligibility is checked automatically from your Medicare card details when you request a consult.

Yes. When your consultation is bulk billed, Medicare covers the full consultation fee and you pay nothing out of pocket — no gap fee, no booking fee and no card surcharge. Anything the GP issues during the consult — e-scripts, medical certificates, referrals — is included. The only separate costs are outside the consult: the pharmacy's PBS co-payment for a medicine, or what a pathology collection centre, imaging clinic or specialist charges for the service you are referred to.

Yes, where clinically appropriate. Medical certificates, e-prescriptions and specialist, pathology and radiology referrals are provided within a standard GP consultation, and that consultation is bulk billed if you're eligible — so the document costs you $0 out of pocket. The GP decides whether a certificate, script or referral is clinically justified during the consult.

Three: sexual health consultations at any time of day (contraception, STI screening and management, PrEP and PEP); consultations for children under 12 months of age at any time, provided the child has a valid Medicare card number; and urgent care from 11pm for concerns that cannot safely wait until morning. Everything else — general GP consultations, including prescriptions, certificates, referrals, men's health and weight-loss consultations — is bulk billed for most Australians with a valid Medicare card.

Yes. Bulk-billing eligibility works the same way at any hour between 7am and midnight — most Medicare card holders are bulk billed for general GP consultations in the evening and on weekends and public holidays, with no after-hours surcharge. From 11pm, urgent care that cannot safely wait until morning is bulk billed for every Medicare card holder.

Yes — weight-loss consultations at Clinic Online are bulk billed for most Australians with a valid Medicare card, meaning $0 out of pocket. Patients who are not eligible pay a flat $59 per consultation, with no subscription, membership or program fee.

You can still see a GP. Without a valid Medicare card the consultation is charged at the standard private fee — $45 for consultations up to 10 minutes, or $59 beyond 10 minutes — with e-scripts, certificates and referrals included in that single fee. There are no subscriptions or hidden extras.

You never have to guess. When you request a consultation, your bulk-billing eligibility is checked automatically, and the result is shown before you choose your consult type. If you're bulk billed, no payment is taken. If you're not, the flat fee is shown up front before you go ahead.
