All appointments on Monday to Friday will attract a $40 gap fee for patients aged 16 and over (except healthcare card holders who will incur a $22 gap).
All appointments on Saturdays will attract a $40 gap fee for patients of ALL AGES.
The following patients will continue to be bulk-billed to Medicare for general consultations with no gap fee on:
WEEKDAYS:
- Patients aged under 16
- Patients aged 68 or over (with a pension card)
- Appointments for COVID/Flu vaccines
We are very committed to providing high quality care to our patients and community. The reason for the introduction of a gap fee for some patients, is the rising costs of running a general practice and the reluctance of the government in funding these higher costs.
