Pensioners, Health Care Card holders and all children 16 years and younger are bulk billed for surgery consultations.
Home visits are not bulk billed regardless of being on a pension or health care card.
Fees are payable at the time of consultation by cash or EFT. We can process your Medicare rebate on the spot which refunds the Medicare amount back into your bank account or alternatively you can take the receipt to a Medicare office to claim your refund.
If you are having difficulties paying your fees, please talk to your doctor.

Workcover
Our rates are set by SIRA NSW with yearly increase.
All initial work cover consultation fees will need to be paid by patient with receipt provided for patient to claim back from the insurer.
Once insurer has accepted the claim (with a claim number), all subsequent visits to the practice are billed directly to the insurer for payment.
However, it is our practice policy that all work cover accounts must be paid in full in a timely manner (within reasons) before each subsequent workcover appointment with your doctor
(including other non patient attending work cover- related claims eg: paperwork/letters reviewed/reports).
If there are outstanding payments at the time of your next visit, we may need to request it to be settled by you to maintain your appointment with your doctor (and provide the receipt for you to claim back from the insurer),
or alternatively to re-book your appointment when the account has been settled by the insurer.
We apologise of any inconvenience caused, but the policy needed to be implemented due to previous issues of backlog of claims from the insurers that required a large amount of our admin time/cost to chase these.
