  • Medicare rebates can be processed electronically at the time of payment.
  • A gap fee will apply, depending on consultation length and type.

Procedures, After-Hours & Additional Fees

Some services may attract additional fees, including:

  • Minor procedures
  • Dressings and consumables
  • Non-Medicare funded vaccines
  • Medical reports, forms, and letters

Where possible, you will be informed of any additional charges before the service.

Missed Appointment / Late Cancellation Fee

A fee may apply for missed appointments or cancellations made without sufficient notice. This fee is not refundable and cannot be claimed through Medicare.

Billing Enquiries

Because each GP is an independent practitioner, fee structures may vary. For any questions regarding fees for your appointment, please speak with your GP or contact our reception team.
