Many New Town practices accept online bookings via HealthEngine or HotDoc; others prefer phone bookings.
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 New Town 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.
