An administration fee will be charged if you do not settle your account on the day. Please note that a cancellation fee may be charged if you do not attend your appointment or we are not notified of a cancellation at least 1 hour prior to your appointment time.
Appointments between 8:00am and 9:00 am Monday to Friday are private fee appointments - no patients will be bulk billed during these hours.
After hours, on Saturdays and on Public Holidays children 11 years and under are bulk billed; all other patients will be billed the full private fee (there are no concession rates).
There will be no bulkbilling for any Saturday nurse appointments for patients aged 12 years - 65 years.
This will include appointments for Immunisations, Ear Syringing & Dressings etc. The fee for a nurse consultation on a Saturday will be charged at the current medicare rebate amount. There will also be a separate invoice charged for a nurse treatment room fee which is a non-rebate amount. Both invoices need to be paid on the day of consultation.
Aged Pensioners, disability pensioners and Veteran Affairs patients will still have Saturday Nurse appointments bulkbilled.
The current rates are posted within the Clinic. Rates for procedures such as plastering, suturing and the removal of lesions vary and will be discussed with you prior to proceeding.
