PRACTICE FEES

Appointments
A standard appointment is 15 mins, extra time is required for multiple issues, medicals, mental health, chronic disease management, excision and skin work and emergent care.

Fee Structure
At Withcott Medical Centre, our team are committed to providing quality healthcare and for a long time we have absorbed the rising costs of providing such a service to Withcott and the surrounding communities.

Unfortunately, with successive governments not providing adequate increases to medicare rebates and continued rising costs this has become challenging and we must now make some changes.

From Monday 1 July our bulk billing and private fee structure will change.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to discuss with our reception team.
