We pay respect to the Bidjara people and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people on whose land we live and work for their resilience, determination, cultural knowledge and wisdom.   We reflect on the past and look to the future with hope for harmony and health equity.

About our fees

 

We want every patient to be able to access quality health care in our community.

Unfortunately the medicare rebate the government provides to patients has not kept up with inflation and won’t cover the cost of running a health clinic.

As a business we are investing in this community – by paying private fees you are investing in your health!

 

Who can be bulk billed?

 

Every patient* will be charged private fees for the first 2 consultations each year.  On the third consultation you may be bulk billed for standard appointments if you have a medicare card and are:

  • 15 years old or younger
  • have a pension or health care card
  • DVA

 

Exceptions:

*All appointments at GP in Schools clinic will be bulk billed

*All appointments for DVA gold card holders will be bulk billed

 

 
 


What can be bulk billed?

Because medicare have recognized the importance of managing chronic conditions we are able to bulk bill the following consultations after your first 2 consults.

  • Care plans including Chronic Disease Management Plan and Mental health plans and reviews
  • Health assessments including Indigenous health assessments, over 75yo health assessment
  • DVA annual veterans health checks

 

 

We don’t want anyone’s health to suffer because of financial hardship – if you are unable to pay the full fee please talk to the doctor or our practice manager.

 

Medicare is a public health insurance scheme. It provides rebates (support payments) to you when you access eligible health services, such as visiting your GP. These payments are yours, not your GP’s.

‘Bulk billing’ is when a doctor has accepted the rebate that medicare pays for that service.  By signing the direct bill form you are allowing the clinic to bill medicare directly so you don’t  have to reclaim the fee from medicare yourself.
