At Merri-bek Family Doctors, our aim is to offer excellent care for our patients. In order to be able to give your concerns the time and attention they deserve, in a well-resourced practice, we charge private fees for our consultations.
We bulk bill all Aged Pension and DSP (Disability Support Pension) card holders and charge a discounted rate for people who hold other pension cards, and for children 15 years and under.
All fees will be advised to the patient prior to services being rendered and are expected to be paid in full at the time of your appointment. If you are currently experiencing financial difficulties, then please speak to us.
Note: On Saturdays, a $10 surcharge applies.
