It is the policy of the Practice that payment for consultation is made at the time of your appointment. We only accept payment via EFTPOS (debit and credit card – Visa and Mastercard - NOT American Express). Payments will be sent online directly to Medicare and you will receive your rebate directly into your nominated bank account.

Your Doctor will inform you and reception staff of the fee to be charged for your consultation. If the appointment is longer, where multiple health issues need to be addressed, an appropriate appointment length (Level C or D) should be made and the fee will be higher. Please discuss any payment issues with your doctor.

 

Home visits will now be privately charged to all patients, please see the listed fees below.
