Operating hours during the 2025/2026 holiday break
Please see the following post for information about operating hours of Student Life services during the 2025/2026 holiday break – https://blogs.flinders.edu.au/student-health-and-well-being/2025/12/15/information-about-opening-hours-of-student-life-services-during-the-holiday-break/
Did you know we are a Bulk Billing Practice?
To support your health and budget, we bulk bill all eligible services for students (and staff) with a valid Medicare card. International students with OSHC cover also will not be charged for eligible services.
This means you do not have to pay a gap fee for:
- GP consultations
- Mental health treatment plans
- STI and contraception consults
- Chronic condition management plans
Note: Fees may still apply for non-eligible services such as allied health, skin excisions, or diagnostic tests
