Dear  valued  patients,
We will be increasing our consultation fees that will take effect from   2nd October 2023. 
This decision was made after careful considerations and reviews of our operating costs. We understand that raising our fees is not ideal but it is necessary to continue in providing quality healthcare services to  our patients.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the new fees, our reception team will be available to assist you in understanding the cost structure.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

 

Unfortunately, due to the rising costs of staff wages, insurances, medical supplies and utilities, grouped with the fact that for many years, Medicare rebates have failed to keep up with the inflation and do not reflect the cost of delivering high-quality general practice services. The cost of running a practice has continued to rise annually. It is financially no longer possible to continue to provide high quality medical service whilst bulk billing all of our patients.
