Fee Schedule
Today Medicare rebates do not cover the full cost of providing you with medical care. This is because the rate at which successive governments have indexed the Medicare Schedule fees has been substantially lower than increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and average weekly earnings.
The reality is that Medicare rebates do not cover the cost of providing you with a safe and high quality service. The fees charged by this practice have to cover all of our practice costs including employing receptionists and practice nurses, and meeting our operating expenses such as rent, medical equipment, electricity, computers and insurance.
It is not possible for this practice to meet our running costs each year without increasing our fees. The Medicare rebate freeze means that this practice is no longer able to bulk bill or routinely subsidise our patients.
Below is a list of the various fees you may be charged depending on the reason for your referral. If you have a new referral letter or if you are being seen for a new problem you will be charged an initial consult fee. (in conjunction with a fee for any other procedure that may be performed)

If you have extenuating circumstances please discuss these with our practice manager. If you wish to let the Government know that the Medicare rebate is insufficient to assist you in meeting the cost of your medical care, please contact your local Member of Parliament, federal election candidates and the Minister for Health.
