Fees

Consultations:

From the 1^st of June 2024 we will be increasing fees for consultations with our doctors and for some other services owing to increased utility and practice costs. The out of pocket costs for standard and complex consultations will increase by an average of $5. The majority of our other fees will remain unchanged.

The average gap, or out of pocket cost for a standard consultation in Australia is $40.
