BREAKING NEWS (FOR FILOZ AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS): New Medicare incentive to bulk bill: The new Medicare incentive to bulk bill, effective from November 1, 2025, will expand eligibility for bulk billing incentives to all Medicare-eligible patients, not just children under 16 and Commonwealth concession card holders. This change aims to improve access to general practice care for all Medicare-eligible patients. The Bulk Billing Practice Incentive Program (BBPIP) will be introduced, providing an additional quarterly 12.5% incentive payment on MBS benefits paid from eligible services, split evenly between the GP and the practice. Practices must bulk bill every eligible service for every Medicare-eligible patient to receive the BBPIP incentive payment. This incentive payment will be in addition to Medicare benefits and MBS bulk billing incentives.

BREAKING NEWS: The new Aged Care Act will start from 1 November 2025 and will impact everyone who accesses or delivers aged care services. Key changes include:

1. Rights-based approach: Older people will be aware of their rights and able to register supporters who comply with supported decision-making principles.

2. Support at Home Program: This program will replace the existing Home Care Packages Program and Short-Term Restorative Care Programme, aiming to help older people live independently at home for longer.

3. No worse off principle: Transitional arrangements will apply for older people already in residential aged care, ensuring they do not pay higher contributions than they do in the current program.

4. New compensation pathway: Available for serious injuries or illnesses resulting from a breach of the registered provider's duty.

5. New Aged Care Assessment System: Existing assessments will be merged into a Single Assessment System for faster and more accurate evaluations.

6. These changes are part of a broader effort to improve the aged care system in Australia, ensuring that older Australians receive high-quality care and support.

SEN. ERWIN TULFO POSIBLENG MATANGGAL SA SENADO

Kumpirmado na may nakabinbing Petition for Quo Warranto laban kay Senador Erwin Tulfo sa Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET), na inihain noong Hulyo 15, 2025 ni Berteni Cataluna Causing, dahil sa umano’y kawalan ng kwalipikasyon bunga ng isyu sa kanyang citizenship.

Ayon sa dokumento ng SET, tinanggap at na-docket na ang petisyon at kasalukuyang dinidinig ng Tribunal, habang isinasagawa ng Secretariat ang mga kinakailangang preliminary actions alinsunod sa mga itinatakdang patakaran ng Tribunal.

(“On July 15, 2025, the Tribunal received and docketed a Petition for Quo Warranto filed by Berteni Cataluna Causing against Senator Erwin T. Tulfo, primarily on the ground of alleged ineligibility due to citizenship.”)

Ang Quo Warranto ay isang legal na hakbang upang kuwestiyunin ang karapatan o awtoridad ng isang opisyal ng gobyerno na humawak ng posisyon.

Sa kasong ito, layon ng petisyon na alamin kung may bisa o hindi ang pagiging senador ni Tulfo kung mapatunayang may problema sa kanyang pagiging mamamayan ng Pilipinas.

Kapag pinaboran ng SET ang petisyon at mapatunayang hindi kwalipikado si Tulfo dahil sa isyu ng citizenship, maaari siyang matanggal sa puwesto.

Matatandaang noong 2022, hindi rin nakalusot si Tulfo sa Commission on Appointments bilang kalihim ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) dahil sa mga isyung may kaugnayan sa kanyang American citizenship at libel conviction. Kamakailan lamang, kumalat din ang mga dokumentong umano’y mula sa U.S. Embassy, na nagsasabing ginamit niya ang pangalang “Erich Sylvester Tulfo” upang makakuha ng U.S. passport, na kalaunan ay binawi ng U.S. State Department dahil umano sa "fraud".
