Peter, patient: Cost of living's got to be an issue for almost everybody. So bulk billing has been great. You go to the doctors and not worry about the cost.
Nicole, patient: I absolutely love it. I have asthma. I've had it all my life, and now I know that I can come to the doctors and not be afraid of what's going to cost me out of my pocket to make sure my asthma is going well.
Leanne, patient: This clinic becoming bulk billed helps my whole family because my whole family come here, from my 5 kids to my 12 grandkids.
Peter: It's just made life a lot easier. It's just good for the community.
Jeanette, patient: There have definitely been times in the past when I've put off going to see my GP just to reduce my healthcare costs.
Murray, patient: I think anything that encourages or makes it easier for people to see a doctor is a very good move.
Jeanette: These changes to bulk billing will definitely make healthcare more accessible and affordable for lots of people.
Leanne: Bulk billing means that you can go to the doctor when you start feeling unwell rather than when you are really unwell.
Murry: And it should encourage people to come to see their GP.
Peter: The GPs, they're there to help you. So if you've got the opportunity to go and do it, go and do it.
Leanne: To find your local bulk billing GP, just visit the website (health.gov.au/bulkbilling).
