Fees
We recommend you register your bank details with Medicare so that when your payment is processed at the practice, details can be sent directly to Medicare. You will then have your rebate directly credited to your bank account, usually within one or two days.
Standard consultation fees:
The full fee for a standard GP consultation lasting up to 20 minutes is $75.00. Medicare rebate for a standard consultation is $39.10.
We can usually arrange for direct transfer of the Medicare refund back to your nominated bank account at reception.
Longer consultations, procedures and operations attract higher fees as do all travel vaccinations and any special services.
We are also able to schedule longer appointments for more complex problems, including 30 minute and 45 minute consultations. Reception staff can provide you with current fees for all services including longer consultations, treatment room procedures, wound dressings, skin checks, counselling, chronic disease plans and health checks.
Telehealth consultations only attract MBS rebate if you have consulted a doctor at our practice within the last 12 months.
Children:
There is no out of pocket fee for children aged 5 years and younger on week-days before 6pm.
Full fee applies on week-ends or weekdays from 6pm with medical rebates applicable.
Children aged 6 years or older are generally charged a private fee with Medicare rebate applicable.
Please note: Due to the medicare rebate freeze that has been in place since 2013, the way in which we bill children will be changing on the 1st of July 2022. From your child's second birthday, there will be a fee with a small out of pocket gap incurred for visits. From their fifth birthday, our normal billing schedule applies. All billing is at each doctor's discretion.
