Fees

Our fees, published openly: how private billing works here, our three fee bands, the $10 discount and Medicare rebates.

We are a private-billing practice, and we believe you should know what your care will cost before you book. That is why we publish our fees in full below. Other fees may apply, depending on what you need from your appointment. If anything is unclear, please ask our team, and reception can tell you the cost before you see the doctor.

Unfortunately, without increases in government funding, we are unable to bulk bill consultations, either Medicare or DVA. To find out more, read why we charge fees.

In 2026, after 18 months without a change, we reluctantly had to increase our fees. The costs of running the practice, particularly wages and the price of goods and services, have risen, and we made the difficult decision to apply a modest increase.

Our three fee bands

Our fees depend on when you are seen:

When Fee
Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm Standard fee
Monday to Friday before 8am or after 8pm, and all day Saturday Standard fee plus 50%
Sundays and public holidays Double the standard fee

The table below shows our fees in each band, with the Medicare rebate and what you will pay.

Our discount

We offer a $10 discount for children under 16, adults over 65 and concession card holders.

Time-based charging

We offer appointments of different lengths, and fees are charged by the time booked. If you need longer than the time you booked, we will charge for the time used. For example, if you book a 15-minute appointment but it takes 22 minutes, you will be charged for a long appointment.

If you know you have several things to discuss, please book a longer appointment.

Procedures, equipment and consumables

Additional fees may apply for dressings, equipment or procedures that your doctor requests, such as an ECG or a pregnancy test. A separate fee applies for services done in our treatment and procedure rooms.

Medicare rebates

Only Medicare card holders qualify for the rebates shown. DVA rebates may be higher. If your out-of-pocket costs are high in a calendar year, the Medicare Safety Net may lower what you pay for the rest of that year.

Missed appointments

If you don’t attend, or cancel with less than 2 hours’ notice, we charge the full fee for the appointment time you booked. Out-of-hours, weekend and public holiday appointments are charged at those rates. This fee must be paid before further appointments can be booked. It helps us keep appointments free for patients who need them, and keeps our waiting lists down.

The full fee list

This list comes straight from our fee register, so it's always current.

ADHD assessment and review

From our ADHD pathway, so these are the same figures we send you when you join the waiting list. More about ADHD care
