About this Event
Do you understand what’s required to be MBS compliant?
With the major reforms of 2025 behind us, compliance is more than a box to tick—it’s the foundation for delivering preventive, holistic, high-quality patient care while safeguarding your practice’s financial integrity.
Our mission is to assist practitioners to deliver high quality patient centres care, with a focus on minimising out-of-pocket costs for patients and optimising their health outcomes. With significant changes to assessment, chronic disease and mental health structures— alongside expansion of bulk billing incentives, the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program has reshaped the way practices operate.
Join us for this two-day workshop designed for General Practitioners, practice owners, and managers. Our expert presenters will break down the complexities of Medicare and provide clear, evidence-based guidance on:
- Applying revised MBS item numbers effectively
- Maintaining compliance and avoiding costly errors
- Strengthening documentation and streamlining workflows
- Integrating chronic disease and mental health structures
- Leveraging bulk billing incentives and the Practice Incentive Program
- Exploring multidisciplinary models and emerging AI solutions
Whether you operate in a bulk-billing environment, a mixed billing model or private billing model, you’ll learn practical strategies to balance accessible care with practice sustainability without costing your work life balance.
Why attend?
- Gain clarity on item numbers and compliance strategies
- Unlock hidden revenue to support long-term viability
