Our fees are set well below recommended AMA rates to ensure they remain affordable.
The Actual Consultation Fee must be paid in Full prior to the Rebate being Processed.
We have intentionally kept the GAP for all consultations not involving additional tests or procedures (such as ECG, spirometry, excisions etc.), uniform, relating to your Concession Status.
Any additional procedures required will add a further Gap Fee however the maximum daily Gap is capped at $85 for Private, $65 for Health Care Card Holders and $55 for Pensioners.
Although the out-of-pocket expense increases in line with the Consultation time, we encourage patients to book longer appointments where you expect that extra time is required (such as complex conditions, multiple problems, depression and stress etc.)
Requesting the appropriate length Consultation at the time of booking, will assist us in running to time, ensuring shorter waiting times. **You will be required to rebook at another time if you have not booked the appropriate length appointment.
Payment
All accounts must be settled on the day of service, no accounts are issued.
Fees may be paid by cash or Card. (Surcharges Apply to all EFTPOS transactions)
