Bulk billing

Bulk billing is available to patients holding a valid Medicare card. Consultations are bulk billed to Medicare wherever possible.

Exceptions may apply in some situations, including work-related injury matters, employment-related medical assessments, statutory reports, insurance-related consultations and some travel-related consultations.

Third party billing

If a third party such as WorkCover or TAC is responsible and an accepted claim is in place, the insurer may be billed directly where appropriate documentation is available.

Please enquire in advance if you are unsure whether another billing arrangement may apply.

Consultations are bulk billed

Consultations are bulk billed for eligible patients with a valid Medicare card.

Possible exceptions

Fees may apply where the consultation is not a standard Medicare-billable service or where another billing arrangement is required, including employer-required consultations or consultations for life insurance purposes.

If unsure

Please enquire before your appointment if you are unsure whether your consultation will be bulk billed.

Obtaining your results

Test results may be discussed at a follow-up appointment or, by prior arrangement, may be provided during business hours by telephone or email.

If symptoms persist despite test results being understood as normal, please arrange a review appointment.
