Consultation Fees

The doctors consulting at Altona North Medical Hub operate on a private billing basis. Medicare rebates are available for eligible services.

Reduced consultation fees are offered to concession card holders (including Health Care Card and Pension Card holders) and children. Please note that all weekend and after-hours appointments are privately billed, including for concession card holders. 

New patients: To support the time required for initial consultations, all new patients are charged the standard consultation fee for their first appointment, including children and Health Care Card (HCC) or Pensioner Concession Card (PCC) holders. After your initial appointment, discounted fees may apply where eligible, at the discretion of your treating GP.

Payment is required on the day of consultation. We accept credit card, EFTPOS, and cash. For eligible services, Medicare rebates can be processed directly onto your debit card at the time of payment.

Please refer to the fee schedule below for further details.

Cancellation & Did Not Attend (DNA) Policy

If you are unable to attend your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible.

  • A Did Not Attend (DNA) fee of $30–$50 will apply if you miss your appointment or do not reschedule in advance.
  • To avoid this fee, please provide at least 2 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule.
  • Our reception team is happy to assist with any changes when sufficient notice is given.
  • Outstanding DNA fees must be paid before booking future appointments.
Types of Appointments

At ANMH, our independent practitioners offer both Face-to-Face appointments and Telehealth consultations for eligible patients.

While doctors aim to call as close as possible to your scheduled Telehealth appointment time, occasional delays can happen. Please ensure you are available around your booking time. If you need your call to be as close as possible to your scheduled time, please let Reception know when booking.
 
Our clinic operates by pre-booked appointments. Walk-in patients may be accommodated where possible, and all urgent medical concerns will be triaged accordingly.
 
Communication Policy 

You can contact ANMH by phone, fax, or email for general enquiries. Please note that emails are not monitored 24/7 and should only be used for non-urgent matters. We kindly ask that you allow up to 2 business days for a response to email enquiries. For urgent concerns, please contact the practice by phone, on (03) 9393 3900. 

The best way to speak directly with your GP is by booking a Telehealth appointment, if you are eligible, as this ensures dedicated time with your doctor to discuss your health concerns.
Doctors consulting at ANMH may be available to take patient phone calls in certain circumstances. However, to protect patient privacy and ensure quality care, if your doctor is with another patient at the time of your call, they may return your call when available.
 
Our reception team is trained to assist with patient enquiries and triage processes, however they are not clinically trained. In some cases, you may be referred to speak with a nurse so your concern can be assessed and managed appropriately.
 
After hours medical care

For after hours medical care, please call Hello Home Doctor on 13 41 00.

Worst customer service ever experienced I can’t believe how rude this receptionist lady was on the phone absolutely 0 respect she should get fired!! For managers referral this phone call was on 21/01/2025. She was being aggressive on the phone when I asked her if I can come in and then she hung up in my face. I then kept trying to call back to book an appointment as this is my local clinic and I was never answered too.

My family and I have been regulars at Altona Medical Clinic for over 20 years. Generally the service is good, but over the last 12 months trying to get an appointment is woeful. Not only must you ring at 8am for an urgent appointment, you are slotted against changing Drs. I tried today at 8am to be told no appointment for 2 days. Sadly that is pushing us out the door to alternative options. Don’t even bother if your a new patient!

Terrible experience on 20/11 with the female admin staff at kidney west. She’s rude, unhelpful, and completely disorganized. Patients deserve better care and respect, especially in a medical setting.

"Can you hold for a minute " this is what you get to hear for half an hour on call. Bad experience.

The admin was rude toward the person who was on the phone to have an inquiry. The admin turned around and said the person who was on the phone was having attitude. Could the admin be more patient and listen to inquire before her negative conclusion.

I haven't been a patient since August 2023 & receive a random missed call, no message left. When I contact them they said i'd seen a doctor the day earlier, was this about payment? No, I wasn't there yesterday & why has someone accessed my patient details to call me? Reception had zero idea as to why I'd been called as there were no notes on my file. I now have serious concerns about my confidential information lodged with them. After 2 hours of awaiting a reply regarding this I have decided to post this review. Beware, as they seem to be unable to explain how or why my information was used & the person on reception seemed to not even care that this was of concern.

19 years I’ve been coming to this practice with our whole family but today is my last appointment ever. On my last visit the doctor was so lacking in interest in me and the reason I was there. Today I’ve sat for 1.5 hours in the car waiting to see doctor outside because I had a fever. After an hour I phoned to be told told I’m next and doctor running an hour behind. Multiple phone calls over next 30 mins and I am repeatedly told I’m next. I’m so sick I just want to go home and crawl into bed. This is cruel and unusual punishment. I’m giving up and going home. To prove how money hungry they are - after 1 hour 40 mins waiting in car - when I phone to say I was cancelling and going to another clinic THEN the doctor can phone me within 2 mins. Review your practices. You’re a disgrace of a clinic. You won’t ever see me again

I also sat in car for over an hr, called clinic don't know when Dr will see you running late. I was very unwell, went to an emergency clinic to be told I had pneumonia. Used to be a good clinic been going to them for years, I must say my own dr is very good but now only works 2 days a week, to get an appointment when you are sick you have to book weeks ahead.sick today not in 3 weeks????????
