From adjusted item descriptors, removal of Mental Health Consultation and Review items, to structural updates and unexpected curveballs with the BBPIP — the 1st of November has brought another round of MBS changes that every GP practice needs to understand.

In this episode, Ami and Zac break down what’s changing, what it means for your practice, and how to adapt quickly without losing momentum. They unpack the key updates affecting Mental Health service delivery, Telehealth, and Allied Health referrals, while also sharing practical strategies for training your team, updating software, and communicating changes with providers.

If you want to stay compliant and capitalise on new opportunities within the MBS, this episode is a must-listen.

We look forward to recording on this same topic once the changes are implemented, if you have any queries or concerns, we look forward to hearing them.
