Medical Gap

Why Is There a Medical Gap?

A medical gap (or out-of-pocket cost) is the difference between your doctor's fee and the combined amount of the Medicare rebate and the benefit your private health insurer will pay for a medical service. Government Medicare rebates have not kept pace with the increasing costs of delivering treatment.

View Medical Gap Chart

Government’s indexation of Medicare rebates has never kept pace with the rising cost of medical practice. On average AWE and CPI increase by 3% per year. Practice costs rise by the same amount. Medicare rebates only increased by 1.7% on average per year.

Payments Accepted
*All fees payable at the time of consultation. Credit card telephone payments accepted.

  • Will I be able to speak with a doctor over the phone if an emergency?

    Although most problems are best dealt with in consultation, a doctor will always be available during normal surgery hours for emergency advice. Our staff are experienced in helping you decide whether the matter requires an appointment, a return phone call from the practice or in an emergency dial 000.

  • Is your practice registered with the Translation and Interpreters Service?


    Our practice is registered with the Translation and Interpreters Service. If you require interpreting services please advise the receptionist.

  • Will my appointment be running on time?

    We will do our best to see all patients as close to their appointment time as possible, however, emergencies are given first priority.

  • I need to see a doctor about a problem that may require a longer appointment.

    If you want an insurance medical, Centrelink forms, review of a complex health problem, counselling for emotional difficulties, or a second opinion, please book for a longer appointment so that your problem will get the attention it desires. Please bring relevant letters and test results from other doctors. Some of these services are not claimable from Medicare and attract a fee.

  • How can I make a suggestion or comment about your practice?

    If you are unhappy with any aspect of the care you receive from this practice we are keen to know about it. Feel free to talk to your doctor or receptionist about any problems you have. We believe that problems are best dealt with within the practice but if still dissatisfied you may contact the Health Service Commissioner. Toll Free: 1800 136 066.

  • If I cannot attend your clinic, will a doctor be able to make a home visit?


    Our doctors will make home visits if absolutely necessary for clinic patients who cannot attend the clinic.
