Fees Schedule

Fees Schedule

  • The last practice fee increase was on 1st July 2016.
  • 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 – 20minutes.
  • 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.
Childhood immunisations, 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.
By reducing our fees in these ways we believe our policy is fair, but please let us know if you are experiencing any difficulties.

New Fees Introduced for COVID-19

  • On 30th March 2020 to help protect members of the public, Medicare introduced new item numbers specifically for Telehealth. (consultations over the phone)
  • Instead of privately billing these item numbers, Burraneer Family Practice has decided to continue to Bulk Bill these to help you and your family through this difficult time.
  • Requests for repeat scripts and ongoing referrals will need a tele consult with your doctor.
  • Medicare’s restricts these item numbers for COVID tele consults to patients who have been seen by a doctor for a face to face appointment within the last 12 months.
  • Exception to the above rule is if the child is under 12 months, aboriginal or Torres Strait islander.
  • Alternatively, you are able to pay a private fee between $30 and $50 depending on the time taken. (not claimable from
    Medicare)
  • Please inform staff if you wish to request a repeat script or an ongoing referral
  • Phone consultations are for repeat scripts, ongoing referrals and for patients with COVID symptoms.
