GP stands for General Practitioner.

What does the term "bulk billing" mean?

This is where the doctor bills medicare directly for a medical consultation or treatment, with no out-of-pocket cost to the patient.

How often are medical checkups recommended?

This depends. Your doctor may advise you on a recommendation based on your age, medical history and any other information required.

Do I need an extended consultation?

If you think you need more time with your doctor, advise the clinic at the time of your booking.

Can a GP help me with weight loss?

You doctor may be able to provide you with general healthy eating and exercise advice, as well as referrals to other health professionals if required.

What is a HCC (Health Care Card?)

It is a concession card for eligible Centrelink customers which may subsidise your medical costs.

Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?

Making an appointment without a referral from your GP may be possible, but your Medicare rebate may be smaller without it.
