Fee Changes

Dear patients,

From Monday 20/07/2026, our practice fees will be increasing.

The federal government has increased the Medicare Schedule fees (patient rebates) this year; which will help cover some of the added out-of-pocket cost of appointments.

The reality for many GPs is that Medicare rebates do not cover the growing costs of providing you with a safe and high-quality service. The fees charged by this practice are required to cover all of our practice costs, including employing receptionists and practice nurses, and meeting our operating expenses such as rent, medical equipment, electricity, computers and insurance. Having frozen these costs for the last 2 years, it is now necessary for us to increase our fees in order maintain the highest standards of care for our patient base.

We will continue to provide a reduced rate for health care card holders and bulk bill pension card holders between 9am-5pm Monday-Friday. Our appointment fees continue to be some of the lowest in our area.

If you have extenuating circumstances please discuss these with your treating medical practitioner.

If you wish to let the Government know that the Medicare rebate is insufficient to assist you in meeting the cost of your medical care, please contact your local Member of Parliament at http://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Members and/or the Minister for Health.

Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding.
