Consultation Fees

 

As of 1st of February 2023, Northam Family Practice will be transitioning to a mixed billing practice.
As a practice we believe that everyone deserves to have access to high quality healthcare and so we were offering our services as a bulk billing clinic.
Unfortunately, the rebate we receive from Medicare does not cover the operational costs of the practice. We are committed to maintaining and providing the very best quality healthcare for our patients and so we have taken this step to protect the sustainability of our practice.
For a further explanation on why we are no longer bulk billing, please visit the below link:
