OUR FEES ARE CHANGING
We would like to inform you that from Feb 28th 2022, there will be a $30 gap on general consultations (including telehealth) if you are aged 18-59 and you DON’T have a health care card or pension card. This doesn’t include appointments for COVID vaccines.

The following patients will continue to be bulk-billed to Medicare for general consultations with no gap fee:
• Patients aged under 18
• Patients aged 60 or over
• Patients with health care or pension cards
• Appointments for COVID vaccines

We are very committed to providing high quality care to our patients and community. The reason for the introduction of a gap fee for some patients, is the rising costs of running a general practice and the reluctance of the government in funding these higher costs.
