A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will make the biggest ever investment in Medicare so more Australians can see a GP for free.
Delivering an additional 18 million bulk billed GP visits every year and tripling the number of bulk billing practices.
Labor’s plan for Medicare will:
- Expand the bulk billing incentive to all Australians.
- Boost Medicare payments to GPs that bulk bill every patient.
- Train thousands more nurses and doctors.
Under Labor, you and your family will save hundreds of dollars a year in out-of-pocket medical costs.
Labor's plan for a stronger Medicare also includes:
- Free Medicare Urgent Care Clinics, so that you and your family have access to bulk billed health care when you need it.
- Boosting funding to public hospitals to help cut waiting lists and reduce waiting times in emergency rooms
- Cheaper Medicines, cutting the cost of prescriptions.
Labor built Medicare and only Labor will protect and strengthen it.
