Consultation Fees
From 1st December 2022, we will be moving to a mixed billing practice for all patients. Pensioners, Veteran Affairs patients, and children under the age of 16 years will still be generally bulk billed.
All other patients will be required to pay the full consultation fees, as shown below. Medicare card holders are entitled for a Medicare rebate for the consult, and we will lodge this directly with Medicare for you. The out-of-pocket expense will be the gap fee between the consult fee and the Medicare rebate.
Some consultations, including Health Assessments, Care Plans and Mental Health Care Plans continue to be bulk billed.
