Bulk billing is not available, with the exception of Chronic Disease Management plans for those eligible. Annual Health Assessments for patients aged 75+ will continue to be bulk billed.
Telehealth consultations are privately billed.

The practice accepts Visa, MasterCard, Eftpos and cash. For your convenience, our reception team can process your Medicare rebate immediately upon payment. If you have already submitted your bank details to Medicare, your rebate will be paid into your nominated bank account within two working days.
Cancelling your appointment
