FEES
Wells Road Medical Centre has proudly been a bulk billing clinic that accepts walk-ins over the last 12 years. We have always believed in functioning as part of the Medicare system and serving the community in a way where they feel no burden of cost.
Unfortunately, Medicare rebates alone are not sufficient to meet the demands of a well-functioning General Practice, making the work that we do under-appreciated and unsustainable.
As a clinic, we have resisted the change to mixed billings for many years. Where 8 of the 9 clinics in our local area have moved, we attempted to remain sustainable without passing on any cost to our local community.
We have decided however, that the move to a mixed billing model is unavoidable if we are to continue our service to the community.
From July 1, 2024
