Some practices are government funded at a higher level than others, based on their population and the level of fees the practice charges. There are three levels of funding:
- interim
- low cost access
- very low cost access.
The fee information on this website is for a standard GP consultation.
A standard GP consultation is a consultation with a general practitioner for a standard length of time within normal business hours. It may include any normal tests or examinations carried out as part of that consultation.
Standard consultation fees for enrolled patients
Fees vary by funding type and the age of the patient.Practices may charge extra for:
- accounts not paid on the day of consultation
- longer consultations or additional services provided
- patients who are not enrolled with them (casual patients)
- after hours consultations.
If you are enrolled with one practice and visit another as a casual patient, you will pay a higher fee for that visit. So, if you attend more than one practice you should consider enrolling with the practice you visit most often.
