Unfortunately, we are in the midst of a Government freeze on Medicare rebates. The  rebate that you receive from Medicare  will not be adjusted until 2018 - 2019, effectively a 5 year freeze. This means that there will be no increase in income from services that we bulk-bill (the vast majority of our work) while all our costs continue to rise.
It is Practice policy that all patients pay for consultations on the day.  
​If the account  is not paid on the day a $5 surcharge will apply. 
Most consultations are charged according to complexity and time, and fall into the "B" or "C" category. The patient contribution is the difference between our fee and the Medicare rebate. Please note that:
  • Our fees are higher than the government determined "schedule fee"
  • ​Out of Hours fees apply after 1pm on Saturday, all day Sundays and Public Holidays
  • ​Fees charged for professional services are available on request​
  • ​At times, patients will incur out of pocket expenses during the course of their care e.g. specialist gaps, medication & other treatment costs. 
Please ask your doctor if you have any concerns about additional costs which may be associated with your care.
