Revision of Fees
Due to increasing costs, combined with Medicare rebates that are not keeping pace with inflation, from 1st July 2024 we are reasonably revising our fees so that our high standards of care can be maintained.
We will continue to be a mixed billing clinic. All patients are privately billed with the exception of the following:
Children 15 years old and under, patients 70 years old and over, and holders of Pension, Concession, and DVA cards will be bulk-billed for face-to-face consultations. Billing is at the discretion of the doctor.
We process secure online payments through HotDoc for all telephone consultations. Please call reception for further information.
