Fees & Billing
Gordon Village General Practice is a private billing practice. We are fully accredited with AGPAL (Australian General Practice Accreditation Limited), reflecting our commitment to the highest standards of quality and safety in patient care.
We believe that high quality, personalised care requires the time and resources to do it properly, and our fees reflect our commitment to that standard. As a courtesy to our patients, we process Medicare claims on your behalf at the time of your appointment. You will receive your Medicare rebate directly into your nominated bank account, typically within 24 hours.
Consultation Fees (from 1 April 2026)
Payment is required at the time of consultation. We accept EFTPOS and credit card.
Please note that procedures, mental health care plans, eating disorder management plans, and ADHD consultations attract higher fees. Please contact the practice for details.
Cancellations
We understand that life doesn’t always go to plan. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we kindly ask that you give us as much notice as possible —this allows us to offer your appointment time to another patient who may need it. Appointments cancelled or not attended with less than 4 hours notice will attract a cancellation fee of $50. This fee is not claimable through Medicare or private health insurance.
To cancel or reschedule, please call us on (02) 9498 1888 as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding —your consideration helps us run the practice smoothly and ensures timely care for all of our patients.
