Doctors charge private fees to provide patients with quality care, allowing time for proper discussion of any issues and a physical examination if required and keeping detailed records. As a practice, we invest in the best equipment available, as well as detailed clinical protocols to keep everybody safe and we maintain high IT-standards to track and secure your health outcomes.

Please be advised that the decision to increase out-of-pocket costs is not made lightly. Over the years most doctors have bulk-billed as many services as possible. The Medicare funding has not kept up with the cost of a high standard GP-service. Most GPs are not employed by the practice. They need to cover the costs they incur to provide a medical service. These costs include mandatory training, insurances, personal/annual leave and super, practice service fees and more. Medicare rebates have not increased in line with inflation or the increasing cost of providing a healthcare service. The situation has now reached a point where the average cost of delivering healthcare is more than double the Medicare rebate amount for a consultation.
