Used by GPs, specialists and allied health practices across Australia.

The 1 July changes are closer than you think.

From 1 July 2026, Medicare’s bulk billing incentive changes require practices to collect patient consent — the Medicare Assignment of Benefits (AoB) — before you can claim bulk billing from Medicare. Managing this manually, on paper or through generic forms, creates risk, admin burden, and gaps in your compliance record.

Without a system in place:

  • Staff spend more time chasing and filing consent forms
  • Records are inconsistent or hard to retrieve at audit
  • Patients experience friction at reception
  • Your practice risks non-compliance with Medicare obligations

Consentic handles Medicare Assignment of Benefits consent, end to end.

Consentic is a purpose-built consent management platform for Australian healthcare practices. We’ve updated our platform to support the Assignment of Benefits workflow (the DB4 consent process) — so you can be compliant from day one, with minimal disruption to your team.

HOW IT WORKS:

Built for every practice type

Everything your practice needs to stay compliant

Trusted by Australian healthcare practices.

Consentic has significantly enhanced the efficiency of my large volume practice.

Due to a significant number of endoscopic procedures, much time is spent on the consent process, even though from a practitioner’s perspective a lot is repetitive.

Using Consentic complements the consent process significantly, improves patient understanding of the procedures and overall satisfaction in my experience thus far. I would strongly recommend it for colleagues performing common day only procedures.

We have been using Consentic for more than 3 years at our clinic for medical consent for our patients.

The videos are clear, concise and easy for our staff and patients to use. The treatment procedure and any involved risks are outlined and the animation is simple but effective. There are questions at the end which reinforce the understanding for our patients. Consentic assists in ensuring our patients are well informed and less anxious.

We love that the completed consent is emailed to our clinic and a PDF file can be easily imported into our Medical Software. We highly recommend Consentic at Drummoyne Dermatology.
