Why the Australian GP Market Is the Right Opportunity
Australia’s primary care system delivers over 170 million Medicare-funded consultations annually, yet remains structurally short of practitioners across most regions. With $8.9 billion in annual government funding, patient retention rates above 90%, and defined regulatory pathways, this represents one of Australia’s most compelling healthcare market opportunities.
Stable, Medicare-funded revenue from day one
GP clinics generate $350,000-$500,000 per GP annually through Medicare-rebated consultations, making revenue predictable and government-backed. Bulk billing captures 80.7% of GP consultations nationally, while private and mixed models deliver higher margins. HCPA structures your billing framework to maximise returns for your clinic model.
Growing patient demand, shrinking GP supply
RACGP workforce data identifies a shortfall of 11,400 GPs nationally, concentrated in outer-suburban, regional, and rural areas. New clinics in these locations access additional Medicare incentives through DPA and MMM classifications.
Telehealth expands your patient reach beyond your postcode
Telehealth GP consultations surged over 4,000% since 2019, with Medicare now processing 100+ million telehealth services annually. HCPA has established telehealth-only and hybrid clinics generating Medicare revenue within their first quarter of operation.

Frequently Asked Questions: Medical Practice Consultant Services
What does a medical practice consultant cost?
HCPA’s GP clinic setup starts at $25,000 for a telehealth clinic and $29,000 for a physical clinic, on 50/50 payment terms. Add-on services from $11,000. All pricing is discussed at your initial consultation.
How long does GP clinic setup take?
Telehealth GP clinics typically take 10-12 weeks to go-live. Physical clinics take 16-20+ weeks depending on premises, fitout, and government processing timelines. HCPA manages all timelines proactively.
Do I need a consultant to open a GP clinic?
You are not legally required to use a consultant, but the regulatory complexity makes dedicated advisory strongly advisable. Medicare registration, RACGP accreditation, clinical governance, and PMS setup each carry compliance risk if done incorrectly. HCPA’s 99% first-time approval rate reflects the value of experienced guidance.
What is the difference between a GP clinic and a medical centre?
A GP clinic typically operates with one to a small number of GPs in a single or telehealth model. A medical centre is generally a larger multi-practitioner facility that may include allied health services. Both require Medicare registration, RACGP compliance, and clinical governance frameworks. HCPA advises both models.
