Fee Schedule

---

At Castle Medical Centre, we are a mixed-billing practice committed to providing the highest quality medical care in a professional and caring environment. Our fees reflect the time spent with the doctor, the complexity of your concerns, and any procedures performed during your consultation.

Private fees apply to all face-to-face and telehealth consultations unless you meet the following bulk billing eligibility criteria:

• Children under 16 years of age
• Holders of a Centrelink Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card, or Commonwealth Senior Health Card
• DVA Card holders (for consultations related to DVA) 

Health Assessments and GP Management Plans are bulk billed for all patients.

Please note: A gap fee of $30 applies to all consultations, in addition to the standard consultation fee.

• Full payment is required on the day of consultation.
• Medicare rebates will be processed and automatically transferred to your linked bank account.
   

For patients with private health insurance (e.g., Overseas Students Health Cover, Work Cover, etc.):

• Payment must be made upfront. You can then use the receipt to claim reimbursement from your insurer.
• International students with valid OSHC or OVHC coverage must bring their membership card and photo ID. Bulk billing is available for eligible OSHC/OVHC patients.
   

We offer onsite HICAPS claiming services for foreign visitors and overseas students with valid private health insurance cards (e.g., Bupa, AHM ,Allianz, Medibank, NIB).

Bulk billing is at the discretion of the doctor. Your usual GP may offer a discount or bulk bill as a one-time courtesy. This does not set a precedent, nor should you expect the same from other GPs.

A non-attendance fee will apply if you:

• Fail to attend your appointment.
• Reschedule or cancel within 3 hours of a GP consultation or 24 hours of a non-GP consultation.

Fees:

• $20 for GP consultations.
   
• 50% of the consultation fee for non-GP consultations.

This fee must be paid before booking your next appointment.

Prices may vary due to changes. Please confirm fees with reception prior to booking or receiving services.
