Share of GP visits bulk billed, by quarter

A year earlier the rate was 80.0%. On the ABS disadvantage index (SEIFA 2021), Colac - Corangamite sits in the second most disadvantaged fifth of areas. Visits are counted by where the patient lives, not where the clinic is.

Over the past year, residents had about 5.9 Medicare-funded GP visits each, against 6.5 across Australia. This uses 2021 Census population, so it runs high in fast-growing areas, and it leaves out care that isn’t billed to Medicare, such as many remote and Aboriginal community-controlled clinics.

“Gap fee” is the average paid out of pocket for a visit that was not bulk billed. “Cost per visit” spreads it across every GP visit, counting bulk-billed visits as $0. Source: Medicare quarterly statistics, SA3 summary.
