- Fees are made up of a Medicare portion (which is fully refundable from Medicare) and a gap fee (an out-of-pocket fee with no refund available).
- Your Medicare claim will be submitted by our team and the rebate is usually deposited into your bank account within 1-2 days.
- Occasionally, if the Doctor is providing a care plan or other services with substantial additional Medicare fees they may choose to bill you under the Pay Doctor via Claimant (PDVC) scheme to keep your upfront costs down (see FAQ below for information on the PDVC scheme). In this case you will only pay the gap fee.
We cannot process DVA claims for daytime GP visits as the DVA bulk billing rates do not cover the costs of the visit. DVA patients must instead claim on Medicare and pay a gap (see above).
A flat fee of $299 applies to all patients without Medicare or Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). This fee applies for any visit length.
** A $20 surcharge applies on weekends, and a $40 surcharge on public holidays
- Bookings for daytime GP home visits can be scheduled in advance.

Telehealth
The fee for telehealth depends on the length of the consultation and the start time of the consultation.
Consultation starting before 11pm
Length of consultation | Consultation fee (Medicare rebate **) | Gap | Total fee |
---|---|---|---|
Less than 5 mins | 18.20 | 49.00 | 67.20 |
6-19 mins | 39.75 | 49.00 | 88.75 |

Consultation starting after 11pm
Urgent conditions
After 11pm there is a Medicare rebate for all patients with urgent conditions. In order to access this rebate Medicare requires the Doctor to justify that you have an urgent condition (i.e your condition is at risk of deteriorating before 8am the next morning). The consultation must take place over a video call rather than a standard phone call.
The rebate is significantly higher than for the standard rebates. So while the total fee you pay is higher your rebate is also higher by the same amount and the out of pocket gap amount is unchanged.
Urgent Telehealth Video consult after 11pm:
- Non-Concession: $210.75 (inc. $49 Gap)
- Concession: $200.75 (inc. $39 Gap)
Non-urgent conditions
If the Doctor cannot justify to Medicare that your condition is at risk of deterioration before 8am, they cannot charge the urgent item and the fees for consultations before 11pm will apply instead.
Determining what is urgent is difficult, as very little guidance is provided by Medicare. Our receptionists can run your issue past the doctor prior to your consultation and can let you know if you will be bulk billed or a fee will apply.
We understand this situation is not ideal but we are trying to do the best we can to help patients and operate within Medicare billing guidelines.
A fee of $159 is payable for patients with no health cover.
You don’t need to attend a clinic to receive GP care after hours. Our Home GPs can manage all of your urgent care needs in the comfort of your home.
