FEES AND CHARGES

BULK BILLING

We bulk bill all valid Medicare card holders. Fees will apply to non Medicare card holders and items that aren't covered by the bulk billing scheme

Most of our consultations are bulk billed if you have a valid Medicare card.

 

However, certain consultations and procedures will incur an out-of-pocket fee. If you are unsure, please inquire within the clinic.

The following consultations are not eligible for a Medicare rebate, and you will be required to pay the full amount at the time of consultation:

  • Pre-employment medical assessment:

  • Commercial driving license assessment:

  • Insurance medical assessment:

We will first send a patient summary. If a full patient history is required there will be a $45 administrative fee and then the history will be sent.

Fees are based on those recommended by the Australian Medical Association. The doctors provide significant discounts to holders of a health care card and pensioners. 

​If your medical care is placing you in financial difficulties please discuss this with your doctor, who may then reduce your account. 

​Mastercard and Visa are accepted and EFTPOS is available.  

A discount is given for fees paid on the day.

​We also have Medicare easy claims available to collect your Medicare rebates online on the spot after you pay your account.
