Call each practice directly to confirm whether they're accepting new patients.
A note on bulk billing: We don't list bulk billing status per practice because it's a policy that changes often and varies by patient eligibility. To check whether a Balmain GP bulk bills for your situation, phone the clinic directly before booking. The SortedAus guide to Medicare explains how bulk billing and the Medicare rebate actually work in practice.
