Bulk Billed Eye Tests
We prioritise your vision health with a commitment to accessibility and quality care.
Independently operating optometrists conduct comprehensive eye testing services within the Optical Superstore retail locations. Most eye tests are bulk billed to Medicare, ensuring affordability never compromises the thoroughness of your eye examination.
Why are regular eye tests important?
Eye tests allow early detection of potential vision issues. Routine eye tests are vital for monitoring variations in your prescription needs for glasses or contact lenses to ensure your vision correction remains up-to-date. Regular eye tests can also uncover underlying health conditions.

HOW OFTEN CAN AN EYE TEST BE BULK BILLED?
Currently Medicare covers comprehensive eye tests based on your age:
- If you are a valid Medicare cardholder and under 65 years of age, you are eligible for a comprehensive eye test every three years.
- If you are eligible and 65 years of age or over, Medicare covers a bulk billed comprehensive eye test yearly.
If you are concerned about any new changes in your vision, be sure to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Medicare allows additional eye tests for eligible persons.
We are committed to making quality eye care accessible for everyone, because your vision matters.
