Fees Schedule

Fee Schedule from 1st September 2022

All consultations are timed by the Doctors and fees are scaled according to the time devoted to a consultation.

A standard consultation is an appointment duration of 5-20 minutes.

A long consultation is an appointment duration of 20-40 minutes.
We continue to discount our fees for all children and any patients we feel have a reduced income.

This involves spending time with our patients and a commitment to thoroughness. The doctors in this practice see an average 3 to 4 patients per hour. We believe we provide a quality alternative to the “high turnover”, bulk billing clinics in this area. We discount our fees for pensioners, all children and the over 75s.

We are no longer able to Bulk bill immunisations, including National immunisation program for babies and children. The Vaccine is funded by the Australian Government, however the time spent by the doctor will be privately charged. Please see below the list of fees payable on the day.

Veterans and antenatal shared care visits are bulk billed. For families with more than one sick child seen on the same day, subsequent children will be bulk billed. GP management plans and health assessments for over 75’s will also be bulk billed.

By reducing our fees in these ways we believe our policy is fair, but please let us know if you are experiencing any difficulties.

Medicare has increased your rebate from 1st July 2023.
