Fees

From the 01st of January 2024 onwards, all patients are expected to pay in FULL at the time of their consultation. This is due to financial institutions charging a fee of $2.50 per cheque that is deposited from Medicare.

We are a mixed billing practice. Our gap or out of pocket fee is $20. An EFTPOS machine is available at the reception for your convenience.

We bulk bill patients with health care cards or pension card, DVA and children under 16 years of age. All other patients with a Medicare Card will need to pay in full their consultation and the rebate will be reimbursed back into their account. Please make sure that you have your bank account details set up with Medicare so that the rebate will go immediately back to your account after payment has been processed. If you are having financial hardship and cannot afford to pay in full, please speak to your Doctor. 

Telehealth consults incur the same fee as face to face consults. When booking Telehealth online you will be sent a message from HotDoc asking to provide your card details for payment. In order for you to receive the Medicare rebate you MUST have seen a GP face to face in the clinic in the last 12 months and have a Medicare card.

All patients that do not have Medicare card must pay in full for their appointment. For International patients we can process their payment using Hicaps if their card is successfully accepted.
