Senator McCARTHY (Northern Territory—Minister for Indigenous Australians) (14:57): Our reforms are strengthening both Medicare and the community controlled sector. From 1 November, ACCHOs will benefit directly from the expansion of bulk-billing incentives and the new bulk-billing practice incentive program. There are 129 ACCHOs currently participating in the Practice Incentives Program. Each of these services will be financially better off under the new arrangements. Together, these ACCHOs will receive an additional $3.8 million a year through expanded bulk-billing incentives and a further $8.8 million a year by joining the bulk-billing Practice Incentives Program. There will be $12.6 million in total in additional support for ACCHOs each year or almost $100,000 per organisation, on average. This will help ACCHOs to continue providing affordable, culturally safe care for their communities.
