From Friday 15th March 2019 , our practice fees will be increasing.
Due to running costs of the practice exceeding Medicare increases, the following new fees are below.
We are conscious that some of our patients are unable to afford the fee; therefore we offer bulk billing to children under the age of 16, Pension/Concession Card Holders, DVA Card Holders
This change is required so that The Grange Family Medical Centre can continue to provide you and your family with high quality healthcare whilst also covering the ever increasing costs of running a business.
Your doctor will explain any additional costs to you and obtain your consent prior to any treatment received.
Fee Examples:
| Type | Fee | Medicare Rebate | Gap |
| Standard Consultation (<20mins) | $70.00 | $37.60 | $32.40 |
| Long Consultation (<40mins) | $105 | $72.80 | $32.20 |
| Prolonged Consultation (>40mins) | $140.00 | $107.15 | $32.85 |
