Medicare rebates
Understanding your Medicare rebate.
The Medicare rebate is the amount Medicare pays back to eligible patients after a privately billed consultation.
Your out-of-pocket cost, sometimes called the gap, is the difference between the consultation fee and the Medicare rebate.
Where eligible, we can usually submit your Medicare claim electronically after payment, making the process quick and convenient.

Billing questions
Frequently asked questions.
Who is usually bulk billed?
Most children under 16 years of age, Pensioner Concession Card holders, Health Care Card holders and DVA Gold Card holders are bulk billed. Bulk billing is not guaranteed and remains at the discretion of the treating doctor, the consultation type and the clinical circumstances.
Do you bulk bill every appointment for eligible patients?
Most eligible patients are bulk billed. In some situations, a private fee may apply depending on the consultation, appointment type and the treating doctor's clinical judgement.
Why might I have an out-of-pocket cost?
The Medicare rebate does not always cover the full cost of providing medical care. The difference between the total consultation fee and the Medicare rebate is your out-of-pocket cost.
Why does Medicare not cover the full consultation fee?
Medicare rebates are set by the Australian Government and do not always reflect the full cost of delivering modern general practice. Private fees help support longer consultations, experienced clinicians, nursing care and the ongoing operation of the practice.
How do I receive my Medicare rebate?
After your account is paid, we can usually submit your Medicare claim electronically. Medicare then pays the rebate into the bank account linked to your Medicare record.
Will infusions or other services cost extra?
Some infusions, medical assessments, reports and other non-Medicare services may attract additional fees. Our reception team will explain these before your appointment whenever possible.
Are forms and reports covered by Medicare?
Many employment, insurance, legal and commercial forms are not covered by Medicare and are charged privately. Fees depend on the complexity and time required.
What happens if I cancel late or miss my appointment?
Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a fee of $50 for a standard appointment or $100 for a long appointment. Fees may be waived in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the practice.
What if I am unsure which appointment to book?
Please contact reception. They can help you choose an appropriate appointment length and explain whether any additional fee may apply.
