No, bulk billing is not ending in Australia. However, the availability of bulk-billed physical clinics has been declining. Due to rising healthcare costs, some clinics are limiting bulk billing to specific groups or services.  

However, Hola Health continue to offer bulk-billing Doctor consults during select hours for patients. All you need is a valid Medicare card.  

Recent Government initiatives and changes in Australia  

The government is expanding eligibility for other incentives and aims to increase bulk billing rates. New programs have been launched to support telehealth services and general practices.
