Fees

We are no longer a bulk billing medical clinic.

Unfortunately due to the price increases to all medical equipment, PPE and general expenses - mostly attributed to COVID-19 inflation, we are not able to continue to absorb the costs of running a medical clinic on bulk billing fee’s alone.

We will continue to bulk bull patients under 16 or those who have a health care cards, pension or DVA card - this is not always possible and some appointments will still incur a fee. Where possible we will endeavour to discuss out of pocket expenses prior to your consultation.

We will claim your rebate for your through oncline claiming - this generally takes 12-24 hours for medicare to put this back into the bank account you have registered. If you do not receive your rebate - please call Medicare Australia to discuss on 132011.

We completely understand sometimes living costs can be expensive & it is not always possible to pay at the time, or at all, we firmly believe being unable to pay should not stop you from attending a Doctor - please discuss this when booking an appointment or with your Doctor - we are happy to accomodate this where possible.

Any non attendance will incur 100% of the booked appointment fee. Late cancelation - 2hr notice where unable to be filled on the day will incur a 50% of the booked appointment.

Due to significant DNA fees we now require payment prior to another appointment being booked.

Appointments outside the schedule will be bulk billed where possible.
