Medicare Assignment of Benefits (AoB)

From 1 July 2026, Medicare is reintroducing the requirement for patients to provide consent for Assignment of Benefits (AoB) when attending a bulk billed appointment.

This consent allows Medicare to pay your rebate directly to Violet Town Medical Clinic, ensuring your consultation remains fully covered by Medicare with no out-of-pocket cost to you.

Our team will assist you with this process during your visit.

​

• There is no change to the cost of your appointment.

• Your consultation will continue to be bulk billed as usual.

• We require your consent for Medicare to pay the rebate directly to Violet Town Medical Clinic.

• The consent process is quick and straightforward and will be completed at the time of your appointment.
