Under the Albanese Labor Government, GP bulk billing is going backwards as healthcare costs are going up right across Flynn.
According to findings of the 2025 Cleanbill Blue Report, the rate of clinics that will bulk bill new adult patients without a concession card in Flynn has decreased by 3.7% in the past year alone to 19.4%.
At the same time, patients in Flynn who cannot get access to bulk billing will have to fork out on average $88.39 to see a GP in 2025.
Federal Member for Flynn, Colin Boyce said this adds further stress to household budgets in the middle of the cost-of-living crisis, forcing people to make the difficult choice between going to see a doctor or paying the bills.
"Concerningly, more than 1.5 million Australians avoided seeing a GP in 2023-24 due to cost concerns - a shocking 25% increase in just one year," Mr Boyce said.
"It has never been harder or more expensive to see a doctor than under the Albanese Government, and this is hitting the working Australians in Flynn at a time when they can least afford it.
"It is unacceptable that more and more Australians are being forced to avoid essential healthcare because they just cannot afford it under Labor.
"This poses a serious risk for the health of all Australians and for our hospital systems, which we know are already overrun.
"The Coalition is focused on ensuring that all Australians living in Flynn have timely and affordable access to healthcare."
