Consultation Fees
The doctors practicing from Altona North Medical Hub bill privately, with Medicare rebates available. Concession card holders (incl. health care card and pension card holders) and children are eligible for a reduced consultation fee.
Please be aware that weekend and after-hours appointments are privately billed (even for concession card holders).
Accounts are required to be settled on the day of consultation and payment is accepted by credit card, EFTPOS, or cash. Medicare rebates can be processed onto your debit card at the time of settling the account for eligible services. Please refer to the below chart for fees.
