Dear Patient,

From the 1st of January 2024 Matraville Medical Complex introduced new pricing including a Gap fee for some patients and some appointment types as outlined in the table below.


This is much needed to continue providing care and sustain ongoing improvements to overall service that we have proudly provided the community since 1993.


We understand the financial burden faced by many of our patients, especially in the current climate and will continue to bulk bill the following patients who are registered in MyMedicare with our clinic for consults that are under 20 minutes:


• Children under the age of 16 years

• Commonwealth concession card holders including Senior card holders, Healthcare card holders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders

• DVA card holders


My Medicare Registered Patients with Matraville Medical Complex will have the gap fee waived for the following types of consults:

• Care Plans

• Health Assessments

• Mental Health Treatment plans

• Home Medical Reviews

• Workers Compensation (To Be Discussed with GP)

• Telehealth among some others

• Some women’s health (To be Discussed with GP)


The out of pocket gap fee is $30 on week days, $45 on Saturdays and $60 on Sundays. The AMA recommended rate is $100 for a standard consultation.


How much does it cost to visit a GP? Australians to be charged more than $100 for a standard non-bulk billed appointment | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site


If you have concerns please call reception to discuss and raise with your GP during your next visit.


Thank you
