Bulk-bill patients and we’ll become your landlord — state government’s latest election pledge to GPs
Existing practices can apply for the scheme if Labor wins, says state health minister Shannon Fentiman.
The Queensland Government is pledging to lease 50 rent-free practices to GPs in return for bulk-billing under it’s latest $365 million re-election promise.
Unveiled over the weekend, the state’s GPs would be consulted to determine the locations with the greatest need for bulk-billing GPs.
A tender process would then be open to existing clinics, who could apply to expand or move their business to the new location under a government lease.
“The condition is that they have to bulk-bill,” state health minister Shannon Fentiman told reporters.
