Fees
We are a mixed-billing practice.
Cancellations: Please note we require a minimum of 2-hours notice prior to your appointment to cancel, otherwise a fee of $50.00 applies for "did not attend" or late cancellations. A minimum of 2-hours notice allows us to offer that appointment to someone else who is on our waiting list or needs to see a doctor on the day.
This fee needs to be settled prior to booking your next appointment and does not attract a Medicare rebate.
