Common questions about cost

The things patients ask before booking.

Is there a Medicare rebate?
Medicare rules require patients to have seen a GP from the same practice in person within the last 12 months before a telehealth consultation qualifies for a rebate.2 This is known as the 12-month rule. Since we're a 100% telehealth practice, new patients can never satisfy that requirement — so no rebate ever applies, regardless of the clinical need. We think this is bad policy — it disproportionately affects people in regional and rural Australia who have no realistic access to in-person GP care. We're a private service because the rules give us no other option.
Do I pay extra for blood tests and the ECG?
No — these aren't part of our fee. Before we confirm a diagnosis, we order a blood test and an ECG to make sure stimulant medication is safe for you. You take our referrals to a pathology collection centre near you — in Queensland that's QML or Sullivan Nicolaides; every state has equivalent providers, and selected centres also perform ECGs. Routine tests like these are almost always bulk-billed, so most patients pay nothing, and concession-card holders are always bulk-billed. Billing is the lab's call rather than ours, so it's worth confirming when you book — and book the ECG ahead, since only some centres offer it.
Can I take my diagnosis elsewhere afterwards?
Yes — your diagnosis belongs to you, not us. You can request a written diagnosis letter to take anywhere, and you're never locked into staying with us; another GP can take over your scripts and reviews if you'd prefer. If you move interstate, prescribing rules differ from state to state, so you'll need to check what applies where you are.

Payment & cancellation

Full payment is required at the time of booking to secure your appointment. We accept credit card, debit card, and bank transfer.

Cancellation: please give at least 48 hours’ notice to reschedule or cancel. Less than 48 hours’ notice may incur a fee of 50% of the appointment cost. See our terms of service.
