QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McALLISTER (New South Wales—Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme) (14:46): I can inform the Senate that in South Australia, as in the other states that I have mentioned in my answers, the number of practices that intend to move from mixed billing to fully bulk-billing has significantly increased. An additional 89 practices in South Australia have indicated that they will move to fully bulk-bill.

What that means is that for people attending those practices, their services that are bulk-billed will be free.
