Payment of Accounts

Our fee schedule is determined by our costs and adjusted accordingly.

Note, your out of pocket expense (gap) for a longer appointment is $2.80 greater than a standard consultation. Please book a longer appointment if you have complex matters to discuss or mental health issues to discuss.

We require at least 2 hours notice of cancellation of appointments and reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee for failure to do so.

Medicare Safety Nets

The Australian Government offers to all Australians an annual safety net for medical services with a Medicare item number and pharmaceuticals available through the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

Anyone on a Medicare Card is registered as an individual. However, families are required to register for a group concession with the Medicare office, or to obtain forms by phoning 1800 011 163, or on-line at the Health Insurance Commission.
