Shire Family Medical is a mixed billing practice. Fees vary depending on your appointment type, eligibility for Medicare rebates, and any applicable concessions.
We aim to provide clear information about our billing to support patient understanding and sustainability of the clinic.
- Children aged 12 and under: Bulk billed (weekdays only).
- Pensioners aged over 75: Bulk billing may be offered for pensioners aged over 75 on weekdays, at the doctor’s discretion.
- Pensioners under 75 and Health Care Card holders: May be offered discounted rates, at the doctor’s discretion.
- All other patients: Full fees apply, with Medicare rebates processed on the day.
Please bring your concession or pension card to your appointment. Fees are set at the time of consultation and are payable on the day.
- Standard fees apply to all Saturday appointments.
- Only children aged 5 and under are bulk billed on Saturdays.
- All Saturday appointments must be paid in full on the day.
If you’re attending under a WorkCover or CTP claim, you must bring proof of an accepted claim (e.g., claim number, insurer details).
If you do not yet have approval, you will need to pay privately on the day and seek reimbursement from your insurer.
- Medicare rebates are processed on the day and typically appear in your bank account within 24–48 hours.
- To claim a Telehealth rebate, you must have attended an in-person appointment at our clinic within the past 12 months, unless you meet exemption criteria.
If you’re unsure about your rebate eligibility, please speak to our reception team prior to your appointment.
