Cleanbill 2025 Blue Report

Since the end of 2022, we’ve made it our goal to improve healthcare accessibility nationwide by creating and maintaining a comprehensive database of Australian GP clinics that includes their pricing and availability information.

But pricing and availability information changes. So, each year, we go back, find every GP clinic we can and call them all again to update their information.

2024 was no exception.

Between October 2024 and January 2025, Cleanbill called every single GP clinic we could find across the country to update their information in our database.

This Report, our third annual Blue Report, aggregates the information we gathered from GP clinics in this latest collection to establish the percentage of available clinics that will bulk bill adults nationally, as well as the average out-of-pocket cost of a standard consultation at those clinics that won’t. It then compares these findings with those of our collections in 2023 and 2022 to track the trends in bulk billing and out-of-pocket costs since the start of 2023.

It shows that the national bulk billing rate has fallen by almost 15 percentage points in the last two years to 20.7%. And, if you’re attending one of the almost 80% of available GP clinics that won’t bulk bill adult patients, your out-of-pocket payment will be almost 7% more today than it was at the start of 2023.
