Welcome to Vitality Healthcare Medical Centre
Bulk Billing available for kids under 16 y/o and concession card holders on weekdays only!
Vitalitily Healthcare Medical Centre aims to provide a one-stop healthcare solution to you and your family through high quality general practice and allied health providers which are accessible, affordable and comprehensive. Our focus is prevention and health maintenance.
We are a MIXED BILLING clinic. Fees vary depending on the nature and the length of the consultation, the individual doctor, the concessional status of the patient and the day of consultation. An out of pocket payment is required for dressing and minor procedures. Consultations for work and insurance related matters, Commercial Driver’s License, Pre-employment and other Medicals are billed privately (i.e. cannot be Bulk Billed). Please call our practice on (08) 8359 2911 for more information.

Updates
Vitality Healthcare Medical Centre is a mixed billing general practice. We are committed to provide our patients with the highest quality medical care and service in a professional and caring environment. The fees charged reflect the time you spend with the doctor, the complexity of your issues, and any procedures performed during your consultation.
Effective 1 December 2024, a $35 out-of-pocket fee incurs to all private GP consultations due to the SA Government applying payroll tax on private GP billings from July 2024.
Please be noted that a $5 incl. GST Administration Fee will be added to your invoice as part of your out-of-pocket fee.
We continue to bulk-bill kids under 16y/o (Medicare card holders) and concession card holders for Weekdays appointements. Gap fee applies on all Saturday appointments.
Why is the administration fee being applied?
SA Government & Revenue SA have decided to impose payroll tax liability to independent GP private billings. However this payroll tax falls on the practice, not the practitioner. As a result of this imposition, our practice has been forced to revise the billing policy to cover the additional operating cost.
We encourage all patients to sign the petition raised by RACGP to object the payroll tax so that we can continue to deliver an affordable service to patients.

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to serving you with the high quality of service.
