GP Fees

From July 9, 2018.

We don’t think its fair for patients to pay over $90 ($50+ gap) in the CBD, especially 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.

Even longer duration appointments incur a gap of about half the CBD average.

We are able to do this because we carefully match appointment duration to the different types of patient presentations. The result is better patient flow with less doctor down-time. So we don't allocate longer than needed and charge the patient for it.

For Medicare card holders:

Bulk-Billed - Strictly these reasons only :
