Payment FAQs
Bulk billing means that the clinic bills Medicare directly for your consultation, so you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket.
We are a Bulk Billing Practice for any Medicare Eligible Bulk Billed Consultations.
All consultations may incur a fee unless eligible for Bulk Billing and consent is signed, please see our friendly staff prior to leaving the practice to confirm if any fees are applicable, an invoice may be issued for any outstanding accounts.
If you do not have a valid Medicare card, you will be required to pay for your consultation at the time of your visit. Our reception team will provide you with a receipt, which you can use to claim a rebate through your private health insurance if applicable. Please bring your Medicare card to every appointment to ensure smooth processing.
While most standard consultations are bulk billed, some services are not covered by Medicare and may attract an out-of-pocket fee. These may include pre-employment medicals, certain procedures, skin checks, driving medicals, and medical reports. Our staff will always inform you of any additional fees before proceeding with treatment.
Repeat prescriptions and referrals generally require a short consultation with your doctor to ensure your ongoing care is safe and appropriate. You can book an appointment online or by contacting our reception team. In some cases, your doctor may approve a repeat request without an in-person visit — please check with our staff for details.
