In February 2023, we introduced an out of pocket fee will apply for some patients for routine consultations. In order to minimise the impact of this change, we will continue to bulk bill (i.e. not charge):
- All children under 16 years of age as they are eligible for the bulk billing incentive*
- All patients 70 years of age and over*
- Patients eligible for the bulk billing incentive with a Centrelink Concession Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card
- Veterans with a Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) white or gold card
- Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander patients*
- Specific services such as chronic disease care plans and mental health care plans and health assessments
- Any patient with a current Covid infection
- Annual Heart Health Checks**
- Mandatory drivers license medicals for private grade license
- Routine repeat prescriptions and ongoing referrals that do not require a full consultation (please see our online request page)
Please note that we are happy to consider our fees for our regular patients who are under financial stress – please don’t hesitate to discuss this with your GP.
*Must hold a valid Medicare card
** Medicare restricts this service (item) number to once a year
