GP Fees

From July 9, 2018.

We don’t think its fair for patients to pay over $90 ($50+ gap) in the CBD for simple issues that only take a few minutes to sort out.

Our fees are based on the time actually spent with the doctor. As a result our average gap fee (after Medicare rebate) is about $10.

We will take the time to properly deal with the issue at hand - it takes as long as it takes, but we don't allocate longer than needed and charge the patient for it. If the problem is sorted, its sorted.

For Medicare card holders:

Bulk-Billed - Strictly these reasons only :

Scripts - repeat scripts for medication already being taken
Injections -allergy/depot contraceptive/B12 only
