Hi team,
Sadly to keep our doors open over the weekend we need to change our billing policy. This means from this weekend everyone will be billed with a rough out of pocket fee of $45.
This ill include both face to face consultations and teleconsults.
We understand this can be a challenge for many however it’s the only way we can provide healthcare on weekends.
Rest assured we will still have our bulk billing patients through Monday to Friday so we can still accommodate when we can.
This is a summary of our billings during the weekdays and weekends;
Consult Fees

| DURATION | TOTAL FEES | MEDICARE |
| STANDARD | $80 | $38.20 |
