When choosing a GP in Carlton, it's worth considering continuity of care (whether you can see the same doctor), bulk billing availability, appointment booking methods (many practices now use HealthEngine or HotDoc), and the specific services you need — for example, women's health, travel medicine, or chronic disease management. 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 Carlton 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.
