Fees and billing arrangements

We bulk-bill pensioners and children under 16 years  

Health Care Card holders will incur an out-of-pocket expense of $30.00.

Individual doctors have the right to choose how they bill and may privately bill.     

Since Medicare began, patient rebates have not kept pace with practice costs. Therefore, it’s necessary to privately charge patients in order to continue to provide a quality service to you and your family.
