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
