Fees
Different from other countries, GP's in Australia are not employed by the government, they are private doctors who run their own independent medical businesses.
The GP's at this location charge private fees for their consultations at which a Medicare Rebate can be claimed by the patient. As a patient you won't need to do anything, the claim for a Medicare Rebate is automatically sent to Medicare via the GP's practice system. On the day of your appointment, your treating GP will collect fees in full and transmit a claim for rebate on your behalf to Medicare. Medicare will transfer a rebate to your nominated bank account (the account that you've registered with Medicare) within 24-48 hours. Should you not receive your rebate please contact Medicare on 132 011.
Most GP's at this location will, for now, continue to bulk bill for people who have a valid Veteran Affairs Card, Pension/ Concession/Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card and children aged 15 or under on weekdays. Please note that different GPs may have different charges, please contact Main Reception for fees and charges.
Most GPS at this location will not bulk bill for Telehealth appointments, weekend, late afternoon, and long appointment bookings. The cost of procedures and documentation will also differ from GP to GP.
The below fees are a minimum guide only, bulk -billing is at the discretion of individual GP's. If uncertain please enquire service costs with your treating GP.
All New Patient appointments will require a Non-Refundable Deposit Fee of$65 at the time of booking and all patients who have not attended the clinic in the past 2 years will be considered as a New Patient (and a Long Consult fee will apply on returning to the clinic). Accounts not settled on the day will incur an administration charge and missed appointments will incur missed appointment fee charges; Please contact main reception (min. 3hrs) before your appointment time or on the previous business day to cancel if you are unable to attend; frequent missed appointments will not guarantee further booked appointments.
