Changing to a Mixed Billing Practice

Announcement

From May 2023 we will be transitioning to a mixed-billing model of providing care.


This means that we will be charging an out-of-pocket fee for consultations and procedures.


We have been a bulk billing practice since we opened in 1994 and making the decision to move to mixed-billing has been difficult. 


Medicare rebates have not increased to keep up with inflation for the past 8 years making it more costly to provide high quality patient care. We have made this decision in order to continue to provide high quality medical care.


Our fee estimate schedule is in a section below.


Thank you for your understanding.
