Fees and Billing
Effective 31 October
At Googong Family Practice our aim is to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. We have dedicated staff, highly skilled experienced doctors and nurses within a well-equipped facility.
Medicare rebates have failed to keep up with the costs of delivering quality medical services. We aim to keep the out of pocket costs to our patients as low as possible while providing the best quality care.
We provide Medicare claiming for our patients where your rebate can be deposited into your nominated bank account. Reception staff are able to provide further info about this. We accept cash, EFTPOS and most credit cards. Payment in full is required at the time of your consultation.
Practice Fee | Concession Fee | Medicare Rebate | |

Level C (20-40min) | $137.90 | $117.90 | $82.90 |
All procedures will incur a different fee, please discuss this with your GP at the time of booking.
