Bulk billing got you rattled? In this episode, Dr Sachin Patel and Dr Todd Cameron turn the tables on the November 1 bulk billing changes and ask: What if you built a clinic model that actually thrives under universal bulk billing, without six-minute medicine, without burnout, and with 10 weeks off a year?

Dr Sachin lays out a rocks-first appointment architecture (CCMPs, health assessments, DMMRs, then consults), while Dr Todd stress-tests the numbers for an MMM1 metro clinic: 4 days a week, ~30 patients/day, 42 weeks/year, strong continuity, nurse-led systems, tight MBS compliance - netting attractive GP earnings and a sustainably paced job.

If you’re a Practice Owner who wants a calmer, more profitable clinic that still delivers exceptional access and preventative care, this is your blueprint. Learn how to curate your patient panel, operationalise nurse-driven care, and turn “threat” into opportunity (plus practical steps to get your team on board!).
