Effective July 1st, 2024, we will be implementing a $2 increase to all consultation fees. This adjustment allows us to maintain and enhance the quality of our services. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Dear Valued Patient of The Health Hub at Eaton Fair,
Bulk Billing NOW available*
- Children aged 15 and younger
- Health Care Card Holders (no matter your age)
- Disability Pensioners (no matter your age)
- Aged Pensioners (65+ years) on a full pension
Why have we made these changes?
- We understand the financial pressures that our patients are enduring at the moment given the current financial situation and we would like to help you and ensure your health is always looked after
- We have carefully considered the impending changes to Medicare and the bulk bill incentive item increase from the 1st November 2023 (which only applies to those population groups listed above)
- We decided to make these changes now (instead of waiting until 1st November) so that we can help you to better look after your health in the meantime
Kindest regards,
The Health Hub at Eaton Fair
