Have tripled incentives boosted the bulk-billing rate in your area? Find out here

Government officials have released a breakdown by electorate.

The impact of tripling bulk-billing rates last November has been clear, at least according to Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler.

For GPs, there has maybe been a bit of cynicism, given what the specialty has endured for the last decade or so.

Mr Butler announced on 1 February that the bulk-billing rate across all GP items had risen 2.1% from October, before the incentives were tripled, to December.

At the time, it was unclear whether a handful of electorates with large jumps in bulk-billing rates were covering up dramatic falls elsewhere.
