Private Fee Changes
Fee changes will occur from 2nd December 2024 to maintain an environment where we can provide you with the quality of service you deserve. We aim to keep your overall out-of-pocket expense to a minimum, while maintaining the highest possible standard of care.
We charge a gap fee for all consultations. For appointments booked between 8am and 6pm Monday through to Friday, we offer a reduced fee for Children under the age of 16 and all pensioners with a valid Pension card.
All weekend appointments are privately billed for all patients and attract an $90 out of pocket fee. Public Holiday consultations incur a gap fee of $100 for all patients. ‘After Hour’ appointments, being consultations after 6pm on Monday and Thursday evenings, also attract a higher out of pocket gap fee for all.
We have EFTPOS and Medicare EasyClaim available for easy payments and on-the-spot Medicare rebates!
