APPOINTMENT TYPES Regular Consults: this would last approximately 10-15 minutes and usually involves 3 or less issues to be resolved.Suitable for adult immunisation, medical certificates reviews for test results and most kids appointments excluding mental health or 6-8 week baby check. Please note that Doctors are not allowed to back date medical certifcates or sick notes. Receptionists are not allowed to give results under any circumstances. Please book to see your GP for your test results. Long Consults: Last up to 30 minutes: for Mental health concerns or multiple concerns and most immunisations under 18months old. Care Plan: Long Consults by default. Medicare only allows you to have one care plan in 12 months This is for chronic conditions that have been present for at least 6 months or expected to last at least 6 months. Hence an injury of 2 weeks does not qualify for a care plan under Medicare rules. Workers Compensation: This is for work-related injuries. Please bring your claim number from your insurance or employer. Invoices are paid by the worker until there is a claim number available. The same applies for Motor Vehicle accidents. Mental Health Consults Require long consult/double appointment to enable proper management Procedures eg Iron infusion, cutting out of skin lesions or lumps,in-growing toenail removal, implanon removal and or insertion, etc Private fees apply apart from the consultation fee.Please check with your GP. Please see your Doctor for an initial consult to plan and discuss the procedure and costs before booking any procedure. Please Note that Bulk billing does NOT apply for procedures and the appointment during which the procedure is done. This means if you are normally bulk billed for consults, once a procedure has to be undertaken , that particular appointment and procedure undertaken can not be bulk billed. Please seek clarification before any procedure to avoid any misunderstanding. Medicare rebates apply for the duration of the appointment of the procedure BUT no rebates apply for the procedure itself.The procedure costs cover the consumables used eg Local anaesthetic, sterilization of materials and instruments etc Bulk Billing applies only to elligible persons for consults that DO NOT involve procedures .
