Information is available to patients about costs when they are referred for investigation or a consultation with medical specialists, allied health professionals or other health services. Some services may attract specific medicare rebates such as counselling under a mental health care plan or dental care associated with a GP plan. When applicable such information is available at the surgery.

As a guidance:

Routine pathology tests can often be bulk-billed

Consultations with specialists attract fees and more information is available on request

Radiology services are privately billed, however bulk-billing is also available 

We use feedback to establish whether patients are advised of the potential for costs when they are referred for investigation or for initial consultation with a medical specialist or allied health professional
