Fees
To our valued patients, after careful consideration of the rising costs of running a private, locally-owned small business, we have had to increase our fees. These changes take effect from 1st July 2024. This is to ensure we remain sustainable and keep our doors open to continue serving our community.

If you have any questions about the new fees, please speak to your doctor or ask to speak to the Practice Manager. You can also email the Practice Manager.
Weekday Appointments before 9am and after 5pm
All weekday consultations before 9am and after 5pm will incur a private fee. Medicare rebates still apply where eligible. DVA Gold patients and circumcision pre-consults are exempt.
Saturday Appointments
All Saturday consultations will incur a private fee. Medicare rebates still apply where eligible. DVA Gold patients are exempt from this.
Return to Work (Work Cover) Consultations
We ask that accounts be paid in full on the day of consultation. You may then claim reimbursement via your Return-to-Work Coordinator.
Cancellation Policy
If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please give us at least 4 hours notice or fees will apply. This provides appointment availability to those patients waiting for a cancellation.
