Telehealth Mental Health Surge: Capitalise on New Medicare Opportunities

With the launch of Medicare Mental Health Check In on 1 January 2026, Australians now have greater access to free early intervention support for mental health challenges.


This government initiative expands digital tools and low-intensity support options, driving higher demand for professional telehealth consultations, particularly mental health care plans.


Seize the January Momentum

As patients respond to the new Medicare Mental Health Check In service, many will seek follow-up care from trusted GPs via telehealth. Joining BulkBill.Doctor positions you to meet this surge efficiently while maximising your earnings through our bulk-billed Medicare focus.


Streamlined High-Volume Mental Health Care

Our platform specialises in telehealth-preferred appointments for mental health care plans and chronic condition management plans. You benefit from sophisticated patient screening to ensure eligibility, alongside options for standard, long, and extended consultations.


This setup lets you deliver the highest level of clinical services with top doctors in a supportive environment.


Earn More with Smart Billing and Flexibility

Enjoy a highly competitive billing split plus loyalty bonuses, so you retain more of your earnings.


Our bulk billed Medicare focus aligns perfectly with government promotions, supplemented by paid private appointment options for greater choice.


A strict yet fair no-show and cancellation policy minimises lost billings, giving you confidence to fill your calendar.


Advanced Tools for Efficiency

We handle all admin — from Medicare claims and payments to invoicing — so you focus purely on patient care.


Leverage seamless electronic integration with major pathology and imaging providers for auto-attached results and notifications.


Thoughtful AI assists with doctor-facing notes and workflow efficiency, plus a patient-facing assistant for Medicare and appointment queries.


Full Schedule Control and Continuity

Maintain complete control over your own schedule, whether full-time, part-time, or with easy temporary blocks, including urgent after-hours slots if desired.


We emphasise continuity of care through patient consent for sharing notes with regular GPs, supported by partnerships with top-tier Australian providers and ongoing platform innovation.


Join the BulkBill.Doctor Advantage in 2026

With the new year bringing fresh mental health initiatives, now is the ideal time to partner with a platform dedicated to telehealth excellence.
