If there are circumstances where you are unable to cover the cost of your consultation, please discuss this with your doctor at the start of your consultation. Thursday evening (after 5pm) and Saturday morning consults are Private billed for EVERYONE - Payment will be required at the end of your consultation. This means no bulk billing - Including children and pensioners. |
DVA patients: While we try our best to accommodate those with DVA cards by bulk billing where we can, certain appointments cannot be billed through to DVA which will incur a private fee. This may be for things like medical reports. Rebates will apply or the option to claim back through DVA is available in these situations.
We accept Cash, Cheque or EFTPOS and your Medicare rebate is available at the time of payment.

Results and Telephone consultations:
Your results may be communicated to you in various ways.
If you have consented for results by SMS the Doctor may send you a text message. If further information is to be communicated you may receive a call from the practice nurse or your Doctor.
Some results should only be discussed in person and the doctor may request reception staff contact you to arrange a follow up appointment for this to occur. Additionally, patient’s may call the nurse between 1-2 pm who can review any messages the Doctor may have in regards to investigations.
PLEASE NOTE: Our doctors are generally unable to provide telephone consultations or take calls from patients during their sessions without a scheduled appointment.
As we are a private billing practice, we do not routinely bulk bill results appointments.
If you have questions or would like to discuss your results with your doctor it is recommended you schedule a follow-up appointment.
