Fees

Face to face Consultations

We are a mixed billing practice. This means that you will have a gap payment (out of pocket expense) which will be the difference between the rebate you receive from Medicare and the consultation fee charged by the Doctor. Doctors determine their range of fees based on the complexity of each individual consultation.

A discounted fee may apply for current patients that are

• Children aged 16 years and under
• ALL Pension Card Holders
• Centrelink Concession Card Holders
• Healthcare Card Holders

Monday – Friday

• Standard Consultation: $85.00
• Long Consultation: $135.00

A discounted fee may apply for current patients that are – under 16 years old, Concession and Health Care Card holders, DVA and Pension Card holders. Thank you.

Telehealth Consultations

Phone consultations for existing patients will incur a gap fee after the Medicare rebate.

Phone consultations for New patients will be privately billed (non-claimable from Medicare). Please call reception on 9463 3288 to discuss fees.

Walk-ins

We welcome walk-ins however a fee maybe incurred to accommodate the patient. Normally, we require people to make an appointment. Priority is given to people who have made a booking. Walk -Ins will incur fees.

CANCELLATION FEES

We understand that occasionally a patient will be unable to make a scheduled appointment due to unforeseen circumstances. If such unforeseen circumstances arise, please contact the Practice at least 2 hours prior to your appointment time to cancel or re-schedule your appointment. We have patients on a wait list each day so by providing us with notice we can then allocate the cancelled appointment to another patient in need.
If you fail to give the required cancellation notice or do not attend, our practice policy is to charge a non-attendance fee of $40 for a standard appointment or $80 for an extended appointment, these fees are non-claimable from Medicare.
