We advise that from 8 March 2021, we will no longer routinely bulk bill children and pensioners, as we move to being a fully private billing clinic.

We will introduce a discounted fee for these patients, with the out-of-pocket cost for a standard consult being $22 (up-front cost of $60.75 with Medicare rebate of $38.75).

Children and aged pensioners will continue to be bulk billed for scheduled immunisations and simple follow-up appointments.

Discounted fees will not be available on weekends and public holidays.

In addition, our standard fees will increase slightly for the first time since we opened the clinic more than 3 years ago. The out-of-pocket cost for a standard consult will be $44 (up-front cost of $82.75 with Medicare rebate of $38.75).

These modest increases will allow us to continue to provide a high-quality service and retain the best doctors in our beautifully renovated facility. Our fees remain lower than the majority of GP clinics in the local area (except for fully bulk billing clinics which tend to have shorter appointments and longer waiting times).

We thank you for your support and hope that you feel that the care you and your family receive at our clinic is worth the additional cost.

If you an existing patient who is bulk billed and you are suffering from genuine financial hardship, please speak to your doctor at the beginning of your next consultation.
