Welcome
Change of Billing Policy:

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 appointments. 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.
