Payment is required at the time of the consultation via EFTPOS or cash. Ensure you have registered your bank details with Medicare to enable your refund to be deposited into your account.

Medicals and Procedures may incur additional fees so please ask at Reception for further details.

PLEASE CANCEL APPOINTMENTS YOU NO LONGER NEED
Repeated Failure to attend booked appointments with no cancellation will incur a $40 Did Not Attend Fee. This will be charged to all patients irrespective of Concession Card Status. We please ask all patients who no longer require their booked appointment to cancel with plenty of notice to allow other patients to re-book.

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.
