    What is Bulk Billing?

    Bulk billing is a payment option where healthcare providers bill Medicare directly for their services. This means patients pay nothing out of pocket for their consultation.

    How Does It Work?

    When you visit a bulk billing clinic like Sunrise Family Medical Centre:

    1. You present your Medicare card at reception
    2. The doctor provides your consultation
    3. We bill Medicare directly on your behalf
    4. You pay nothing - it's completely free

    Why We Bulk Bill 100%

    At Sunrise Family Medical Centre, we believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare regardless of their financial situation. That's why we bulk bill 100% of our consultations.

    Who is Eligible?

    All Australian Medicare card holders are eligible for bulk billing at our clinic. This includes:

    • Australian citizens
    • Permanent residents
    • Some temporary visa holders

    If you have any questions about bulk billing eligibility, please contact our friendly reception team.
