Due to increased costs of operations and to ensure your doctor continues to provide you with safe and high-quality medical services, as of 1 July 2022, all

consultations.
For Pension-Card holders who were previously bulk-billed in most cases, this will be
new. If you are a Pension Card Holder, your doctor will charge you a reduced fee of
