22.01.2022 Apologies our phone lines were down this morning . All up and running ok now

20.01.2022 PLEASE NOTE- as of this Monday 3rd Feb due to Medicare reclassification of our area from Regional to City, medicare rebates for bulkbilled patients were cut by 7.1%. Therefore we have had no choice but to move away from being a Bulk Billing Practice. There will be a charge for consultations. This must be paid at the time of consultation, and the patient will receive an immediate Medicare refund at the time as applicable. Please note we have reduced fees for:... Pensioners Disabled Children 15 and under. Only Please ensure any concession and medicare cards are presented and up to date at each consultation to receive any concession / medicare rebates. Please note preventative health such as Cervical screening, childhood immunisations, will continue to be bulk billed. Please contact the surgery on 0249324299 for more detailed breakdown on fees and rebates. Standard consult is $70 / Concession $50
