About our fees

The doctors practising at Elizabeth Family Health Care have now introduced mixed billing to the practice. There is now a gap payment on all consults for those who are over the age of 16 and do not have a concession.
Bulk billing will also no longer be available on weekends. For more information, please speak to our friendly reception team. 

WHY IS THERE A GAP?

The Medicare rebate does not fully cover the cost of providing good quality care. The rebate has been kept at the same level for many years whilst costs have increased much more. Therefore, from 1 January 2023, you will need to pay a gap fee for your consult. Please click here for more information.

We offer Medicare Online Claiming, so any Medicare Rebate can be paid directly to your bank account immediately, as long as you have a savings account card.

Cancellations

Please call us if you cannot attend your appointment.

We work hard to provide our patients with exceptional care. If you cannot attend your appointment, please call us to cancel it so we can make that time available to another patient needing our help.

Please understand that we assign highly trained nurses and doctors for these appointments, and there are many other patients who would appreciate this time. With appropriate notice, we can give your appointment to someone else.

Fees for unattended appointments will be charged as follows:

Weekdays
$30.00 fee for appointment not cancelled within 2 hours of the scheduled appointment time.

Saturdays
$30.00 fee for appointment not cancelled within 2 hours of the scheduled appointment time.

Care Plan appointments
$30.00 fee for a Care Plan appointment not cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment time.

As of 1st July 2024, our fees have increased. We continue to bulk bill all patients under the age of 16 years and those with a Concession Card. An out-of-pocket fee is payable for all other patients.
