Fee information
Medicare rebates have not kept up with inflation and the costs of running a practice. Our fees are well below the rate recommended by the AMA, as we feel it is important to support rural families.
If you are having trouble with these fees, please speak to our staff.
Fees below are from 1st of July, 2024
Frequently asked questions:
What item number will I be charged? In general, if you are a new patient or it has been more than 9 months since your last review, you will be charged item 110 or 132. If you are a new patient being seen for a developmental, behavioural or learning issue, you will be charged item 132. What are your payment options? Our administration team will send an invoice after your payment. The total fee is required in full either before your appoint for a new patient, or after each appointment for follow-ups. We accept credit card payments over the phone or direct deposit
How do I receive my Medicare rebate? This is processed from our end and will often be returned to your bank account normally within 48 hours.
What if I can’t afford to pay? The public hospital system provides Paediatric care with no out-of-pocket costs. We will offer some bridging care whilst waiting. Our Paediatricians can a provide referral and our admin team will transfer a copy of your records through to the hospital. Does my child need to attend? Your child needs to be present for the appointment. You can still have the appointment without your child, however, you will not be eligible for a Medicare rebate. This also applies to script appointments. What is the difference between a regular appointment and a script appointment? Regular appointments such as a 116 or 133 require a more detailed history, dose adjustments to medication and a formal letter written back to the referring GP after each consultation
