Announcements

• Effective January 2,2024, Telehealth appointments for patients under the age of 75 years old will no longer be bulk-billed. Patients with concession/DVA cards will remain bulk-billed for face-to-face appointments on weekdays.
• Effective 1 April 2023, due to the increased cost of administrative staff on Saturdays and Public Holidays, we have updated our consultation fees. For concession card holders and patients <16yo or 75+, a standard consultation fee on a Saturday will incur an out-of-pocket fee of $25 ($67.85 upfront fee less $42.85 Medicare rebate). Please refer to our Fees and Payments policy for full list of fees. Please note, these patients will continue to be bulkbilled on weekdays.
• We are mixed billing. Please see our Fees & Payment Policy. Please note that non-attendances at your appointment will incur a $25.00 no-show fee. Any outstanding missed appointment fees must be paid prior to seeing a GP. Please call to enable us to fill your appointment slot at least 4 hours before your appointment.
• Why we changed to mixed billings.
• We no longer require face masks in the practice.
  Please remember that for non-urgent matters, you can call the radio doctor on (02) 4228 5522 who is available on weeknights (6pm – 6am), Saturday (12pm-Monday 6am), and public holidays (24 hours).
