Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program

The Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) supports practices and providers to deliver more bulk billed services for all Medicare-eligible patients.

New eligibility assessments for the Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program

General practices and providers can now monitor and confirm eligibility for BBPIP incentive payments with new BBPIP eligibility assessments available through Services Australia.
Through HPOS, practices and providers participating in BBPIP can use:

  • Forecast assessment to check eligibility requirements, monitor bulk billing percentages,
  • and estimate practice payments at any point in the quarter.
  • Final assessment to confirm if requirements for BBPIP payments have been met and view
  • the final payment after the end of the quarter.
  • BBPIP payment details to view the Services Australia incentive payment for each quarterly
  • assessment period, available after the quarter ends.
  • MYMEDM05-MyMedicare – Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) Health Professionals Education Module includes detailed information and screenshots of the forecast tool on slides 5 – 10. Please click on the ‘Forecast Assessment’ button on slides 5, 6.

BBPIP Payments

If a practice is registered and meets program requirements, the first BBPIP incentive payment will be made in January 2026.
To ensure smooth payment, practices should:

  • Check the registration start date.
  • Each GP at your practice has individually logged into PRODA and added bank account details for BBPIP. See Adding provider bank account details for BBPIP for step-by-step instructions. This can be done up to one year after the BBPIP payment is due, however it is recommended that account details are entered as soon as possible to avoid delays in payments.
  • Keep accreditation up to date.
  • Link all providers with separate provider numbers for each site.

Practices and providers can access forecast assessments, and from mid-January 2026 can review assessments. Practices can opt out and opt back in to BBPIP.

Education resources are now available via the Services Australia website. Practices can order bulk billing signage materials online.

For more information on payments and assessment tools, visit the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing Information updates for BBPIP or Services Australia Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program.

Start the new year safe and aware

The holiday period has ended, and we commence 2026 in a very warm summer for Western Australian. WA is still experiencing its high-risk period with threats of heatwaves, fires, floods and storms impacting the state.

Help your patients, and practice, begin the year well‑prepared by directing them to reliable safety and emergency information.

Who is at risk?

  • Patients with asthma or respiratory illnesses.
  • Children, older people, pregnant women, people experiencing homelessness and those living with a disability.
  • Patients living with chronic conditions and/or on multiple medications.
  • Patients that are unable to respond due to dementia, disability, or other factors.
  • Those impacted by environmental factors e.g., outdoor workers.
  • Aboriginal population living in remote areas.

How can general practice assist?

Encourage patients at most risk to prepare and plan: 

  • Encourage the use of reliable and up to date emergency information (Emergency WA).
  • Have sufficient medications on hand,
  • Review care plans for patients with asthma or respiratory conditions.
  • Encourage patients to utilise digital health tools such as My Health Record, which can assist patient care during emergency situations.

Here are 6 key resource webpages that will help you to move into the new year better prepared:

  1. Road Travel – look before you leave – Check to make sure roads are open and be aware of traffic hazards ahead of leaving.
  2. Emergency WA – Save this site on your computer or download the app on your phone to always be aware of new and emerging concerns in your area.
  3. Australian Warning System – Learn about the Australian warning system so you know when to prepare, stay or go during emergencies.
  4. Heatwaves and Be prepared for extreme heat – Learn about the risk of heat to yourself and family from the Department of Health.
  5. Bushfires and Bushfire plan – Learn about bushfires and complete a bushfire plan using the quick and simple templates available through Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
  6. Cyclones and Storms – Read about cyclones and storms and learn about how you can prevent, prepare, respond and recover from cyclones and storms.

Free accredited training in disaster preparedness for general practice

Provided at no cost to the practice, “Building capacity in disaster preparedness and response for general practice”  is a bespoke, accredited online learning package from WAPHA designed to equip GPs, and practice teams to manage patient flow, prioritise resources, and maintain continuity of care, particularly for those with chronic conditions and mental health needs.

New trauma-informed care resource for general practice teams

The Healing Foundation has released its easy to use fact sheet designed specifically to support GPs, practice managers and clinic staff to provide trauma informed, survivor-centred care for Stolen Generations survivors and their families.

The fact sheet outlines how certain clinical situations, such as rushed consultations, unclear explanation of procedures, or authoritative tones can unintentionally trigger trauma. It also offers simple ways GPs can help survivors feel safe and respected, including taking extra time to explain processes, offering choice, and working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health organisations where possible.

The GP guide, co-developed with survivors and sector partners, includes practical, day-to-day tips.

“Survivors have told us what harm looks like and how we can be safer, and these resources reflect their voices and lived experience,” The Healing Foundation CEO Shannan Dodson said.

“By listening to survivors and applying trauma-informed, culturally safe approaches, we can ensure older Stolen Generations survivors receive the care, respect and understanding they deserve.”

Decommission of the NPS MedicineWise and Doctor’s Bag mobile applications

In January 2023, the MedicineWise (MWA) and Doctor’s Bag (DBA) mobile applications were transitioned from the former NPS MedicineWise to the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (the Commission). MWA enables consumers and health professionals to track their medicines and access health and medicines information. The MWA was launched in June 2017. The DBA presents health professionals with medicines information during a medical emergency for medicines subsidised via the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. The DBA was launched in May 2015.

The Commission has conducted a review of both apps to assess:

  • the uptake of the apps by consumers, carers and clinicians
  • the utility of the apps
  • the resources required to maintain the apps
  • quality, safety and privacy risks
  • alternate products available in the market

Key findings relating to the MWA were that usage and retention of the app were low, the value proposition is not unique nor competitive and that the effort required to maintain safety, quality, and privacy are significant, when considered in proportion to the low number of active users.

Key findings relating to the DBA were that usage was low and those users reported limited value in the DBA, as General Practitioner’s typically referred to published guidelines when verifying dosages and administrative requirements.

Based on the findings of this review the Commission has made the decision to decommission both mobile applications at midday AEDT, Tuesday 10 February 2026.

The MWA will no longer have full functionality on users’ devices after the discontinuation date. Communications have been sent directly to users of the MWA along with guidance on how to find alternate products and instructions on how they can download or remove their data.

Although users of the DBA will be able to continue to use the app as it is native to the device, it is not recommended given the information provided in the app will no longer be updated.

If you require further information, please email QUMCustomerService@safetyandquality.gov.au

Maintain benzathine benzylpenicillin stock in your Doctors Bag

The TGA has reported that the current Bicillin L-A (benzathine benzylpenicillin, Pfizer) shortage has been extended until 23 January 2026.
Lentocillin S 1200 benzathine benzylpenicillin is a TGA-approved, PBS-listed alternative (see About the shortage of Bicillin L-A). It is a powder requiring reconstitution with a diluent (packaged with the powder) which contains lidocaine to reduce the pain associated with treatment.

Benzathine benzylpenicillin should be prioritised for use in the following conditions:

  • Treatment and secondary prophylaxis of acute rheumatic fever (ARF), and secondary prophylaxis of rheumatic heart disease (RHD).
  • Patients who require treatment for group-A streptococcal infection of the respiratory tract and skin who are at high risk of acute rheumatic fever, rheumatic heart disease or acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN), where oral therapy is not acceptable or the likelihood of non-adherence is high.
  • Treatment for syphilis in proven or suspected cases, or if identified as a sexual contact of syphilis.

To ensure your patients’ access to benzathine benzylpenicillin:

  1. Maintain adequate stock in your doctor’s bag.
  2. Contact your local public health unit if urgent supply is needed for a patient with infectious syphilis, or contact a public sexual health or infectious diseases clinic to refer the patient for urgent treatment.
  3. Be aware that emergency supplies are available directly from Pfizer Australia (call 1800 675 229 for information).

More measles cases detected

There were 63 cases of measles identified in WA in 2025, with many of these cases being from returning overseas travellers.

View the full list of recent exposure sites here.

Measles is a highly contagious but preventable through vaccination.

WA Health has issued a reminder to people who are travelling overseas during the Christmas and new year holidays to ensure that they are fully protected against measles.

Patients can receive another dose of MMR vaccine if they are unsure if they have previously received two doses.

Patients born after 1965 who do not have evidence of having received two doses of a measles vaccine can access a government-funded MMR vaccine from their GP.

Infants that are travelling can also receive a government – funded MMR from 6 months of age from their GP. If an infant receives an MMR vaccine before 12 months of age, they will still need to receive two further doses after 12 months of age.

New ATAGI statement on the importance and safety of Hepatitis B vaccine at birth

The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) has recently published advice on the importance and safety of Hepatitis B vaccine at birth and reaffirmed its recommendations for infants and children.

This early protection is a key part of Australia’s National Immunisation Program, helping reduce Hepatitis B among children and into adulthood.
It is important that all children complete the full Hepatitis B vaccine series, as household transmission remains a significant risk. Up to 50% of children who become infected in childhood have acquired hepatitis B infection from household contacts who don’t know they are infected.

Further details about hepatitis B vaccination, including effectiveness and safety, can be found in the Australian Immunisation Handbook – Hepatitis B chapter.

View the full ATAGI statement (11 December) here.

Immunisation requirements for childcare services, kindergarten and schools

In July 2019, the “No jab, no play” legislation came into effect aimed at increasing the vaccination rates of children in Western Australia and to better protect the community from vaccine preventable notifiable infectious diseases.

Under the No jab No Play legislation a child’s immunisation status must be up-to-date according to their Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) immunisation history statement to be permitted to enrol into long day care, family day care, pre-kindergarten or kindergarten.

To assist education sector to implement this legislation, general practices need to ensure children are up to date with their immunisations prior to enrolling.

How can you help:

  • Recall any child turning 4 due for vaccination
  • Checking AIR for all children attending the practice
  • Offer catch up plans for those in need
  • Print off AIR statements for parents to show schools

For further information and resources regarding the No Jab No Play requirements, click here.

The AIR “Planned catch-up for overdue vaccines” tick box

An Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) planned catch-up gives individuals additional time to receive vaccines overdue under the National Immunisation Program (NIP) for the purpose of being eligible for family assistance payments and enrolment in early learning services.

Planned catch-ups are:

  • only valid once
  • available to individuals under 20 years of age
  • only valid for 6 months.

A vaccination provider can indicate a planned catch-up where:

  • all overdue vaccines were unable to be administered at the appointment
  • serological testing for natural immunity has been ordered and results are pending
  • vaccines required for administration have been ordered
  • a child is being enrolled into an early childhood service.

Registered Nurse Prescribing Endorsement – Consultation Opportunity

On the 30 September 2025, the Nurses and Midwifery Board of Australia published the Endorsement for scheduled medicines designated RN prescriber, which will allow suitably qualified registered nurses to prescribe scheduled medicines 2, 3, 4 and 8 in partnership with an authorised health practitioner.

Registered nurses will be required to undertake an approved postgraduate course of study, and are authorised to prescribe within a clinical governance framework, under a prescribing agreement with an autonomous prescriber, and in accordance with their scope of practice and state and territory medicines and poisons legislation and regulations.

Amendments to the Medicines and Poisons Regulations 2016 are required to authorise designated registered nurse prescribers to issue prescriptions.

Additionally, the Pharmacy Board of Australia recently announced a prescribing endorsement will be developed for pharmacists, and once this occurs, pharmacists will similarly require a prescribing authorisation under the medicines and poisons regulations.

The Western Australian Department of Health is undertaking consultation on regulatory amendments to support prescribing by designated registered nurse prescribers and pharmacists.

Stakeholders working across all health settings, (hospitals, community health, primary care, aged care and justice settings for example) are encouraged to participate.

Details of the consultation, including a discussion paper and an online survey are available on the Department’s Consultation Hub here.

Stakeholders are encouraged to complete the online survey. Responding via the online survey ensures accurate capture of your opinion about each consultation question you answer.

The consultation closes on 2 February 2026.

Nurse Re-entry Program – Supporting Nurses and Practices

The Nurse Re-entry Program is an Australian Government initiative supporting general practices to build their capability by hosting nurses in supervised placements. The program helps nurses who haven’t practised in the last 5-10 years to return to the workforce through paid, supervised placements in general practice. The program also supports nurse practitioners transitioning into general practice.

Eligible nurses are matched with accredited general practices to complete their placement, meet NMBA requirements and regain full registration.

This program also benefits practices by strengthening their teams, training nurses in-house and creating efficiencies. Eligible practices may receive a grant to support participation and there is no obligation to employ the nurse permanently after the placement is complete.

They coordinate the matching process, confirm supervision requirements and provide resources to guide you.

Expressions of interest are now open. Nurses can submit an EOI to return to practise and practices can submit an EOI to host a placement.

For more information, contact the Nurse Re-entry Program team via email.
