Billing
How does it work?
Unfortunately, the Government’s contribution to medical care with your General Practitioner has not matched the rising costs of delivering these services over the last decade. To help meet the increasing costs of delivering a high-quality service by your doctor, you may be required to contribute towards the cost of your medical care.
It is common practice for your treating doctor to bulk bill for consultations for children aged under 16 and DVA. All other pension/concession card holders are offered a reduced rate for standard consultations Monday through Friday; excluding early and Saturday consultations.
All early consultations and Saturday consultations, for children and pension card holders will be privately billed with no concession rates available. All other consultations will be billed at the discretion of the treating doctor.
