For people without a Medicare card, a fee will incur depending on the duration and nature of the consultation. If you have any concerns regarding these fees, please discuss them with reception staff prior to your appointment.

Insurance Reports/Forms (30min)  | $250+

Multiple consultations may be needed for complex reports.

Pre-Employment Medicals are not covered under Medicare (Long Consultation 20-30min) | $145+

WorkCover QLD and self-insurers are not covered under Medicare (Long Consultation 20-30min)
Billing occurs directly with WorkCover Queensland and private workcover insurance companies. Please provide claim number to reception.
If you have seen the doctor due to a WorkCover injury, you need to decide whether or not you will go through with this claim during your consultation.
If you change your mind the next day after you have seen the doctor, you are accountable to pay the private fee equivalent for the WorkCover consultation fee i.e.
Short appointment $85.00
Long appointment $135.00
This is because it is against the law to backdate your consultation under Medicare and you have decided not to claim your consultation under WorkCover or your employer.

Telephone Consultations

Please note the changes to our telephone consultations due to Medicare claiming requirements. They are still available if you have seen the doctor in person in the last 12 months for Medicare card holders only.  

  1. After your telephone consultation, you need to agree to the service being bulk billed.  

  2. You will be sent a text message with a link to your phone via Health Engine, please complete the form to verify your identity and tap to assign your Medicare benefits.  

  3. This must be done immediately following your phone call with the doctor.  

  4. If you don’t agree to assign your benefits, then a private fee of $61.40 is payable by you.  

  5. If you don't receive the text message, you must come into the clinic on the same day to sign your agreement for your phone consultation to be bulk billed.  

  6. Please ensure your mobile number is kept up-to-date, by notifying us if you have changed your phone number.
