FEES
Suggested Schedule of Fees at Andrew Place Clinic
Fee update from 1st July 2025
Due to recent payroll tax changes introduced by the Victorian Government, along with ongoing inflationary pressures, Andrew Place Clinic will be increasing our fees by 8% from 1 July.
We recognise that this comes during a time of significant cost of living challenges. This decision has not been made lightly. However, this adjustment is necessary to ensure we can continue to deliver the high-quality medical care you deserve.
If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, we encourage you to speak directly with your doctor or a member of our team.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
