Fees

Practice Fees

Fees will vary according to the time and treatment necessary. Patients are required to settle their account at the time of consultation.

Medicare claims will be made directly at the time of payment. Medicare deposits will be refunded directly into your bank account if you have registered your bank details with them through My Gov. Where Medicare claiming does not apply, patients will be required to pay the full fee.

For advice on out-of-pocket costs when seeing your GP or being referred to a specialist, please speak to our reception staff.

All weekend appointments will be privately billed and incur an additional $10 surcharge fee. After hours fees apply for appointments on Saturday after 1pm. Bulk billing services will not be applied.

Appointments for procedural work will incur a treatment room fee ranging from $25-$80, dependent on procedure. These typically include appointment for skin procedures, iron infusions and contraception insertions and removals and ECG’s. The treatment room fee is not subject to Medicare rebates.

Missed appointments and Late cancellation fees

An unattended appointment or one which does not allow the opportunity of time to re-fill the appointment, reduced the practice capacity to attend to patients who need to see a doctor. We have therefore implemented the following fees. A late cancellation is considered to be within 2 hours of the appointment. Medicare rebates do not apply

Missed Appointment or Late Cancellation (short)   $95

Missed Appointment or Late Cancellation (long)    $168
