Updated Billing Policy – In Line with the Medicare Universal Bulk Billing Initiative
From November 1, 2025 our billing policy has been updated to align with the new Medicare bulk billing initiative, providing Medicare-eligible patients the opportunity to access high-quality care with no out-of-pocket costs.
Please be sure to advise reception at the time of booking if you have a Health Care/Concession/Pension or DVA card, so we can add these to your files and avoid any unnecessary charges.
Whilst fees for Medicare-eligible patients can be bulk billed for many services, consultation fees are also outlined here to ensure transparency for all patients who choose the high-quality care at our clinic. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members.
Non-Attendance / Cancellation Policy
Dear patients, please be advised that as of 11/09/2023, our cancellation policy has changed. If you can no longer attend your appointment, you will need to cancel or rebook via calling reception or declining the confirmation text so we can allocate your appointment to another patient. If you fail to advise less than 2hrs in advance, you will need to pay a $40 cancellation fee prior to your next appointment. If your appointment is between 7am-10am, the appointment will need to be cancelled the day prior. This is to ensure our doctors can give their patients the best possible care and service by opening up appointment slots that may go unused. Missed or cancelled appointments will be marked as a ‘did not attend’ appointment and will stay on your file for 1 year. This fee is to be paid prior to booking your next appointment with any provider and is not claimable with Medicare or Healthfunds.
