OUR FEE POLICY IN JULY 2024 IS CHANGING
WHY THE CHANGE
- So we can continue to deliver high quality care for you
- So we are able to maintain bulk billing for our vulnerable members of the community – children & the elderly
- So we have on-the-day appointments available for you
- Because Medicare rebates have been falling behind inflation for over 10 years
- To ensure we maintain the best quality GP’s and medical services for you
WEEKDAY CONSULTATIONS
All patients aged between 16 and 69 years (inclusive) will be charged privately for all weekday GP consultations.
A proportionate amount of this fee can be claimed back from Medicare after the consultation.
On weekdays, patients aged 15 years and under or 70 years and over, or those who present a valid pension card PRIOR to their consultation will be BULK BILLED for most GP consultations. Certain consultations may incur an out-of-pocket fee, which will be discussed during your consultation by your GP.
Non-Attendance of any appointment may result in a $50.00 cancellation fee. If you are unable to make an appointment, please call our friendly staff to reschedule at least 2 hours before for GP consultations and 48 hours for Allied Health professionals and Medical Specialists.
