Billing

Pensioners and children under 16 are bulk-billed between the hours of 9am to 4.15pm, however there is a discounted fee for minor surgery.

From the 1st of November, 2022 the telehealth consultations will be privately billed.

Healthcare card holders are usually given a discounted fee, but will be bulk-billed where there is a genuine financial hardship.

All other patients are expected to pay on the day and the Medicare rebate will be returned to your account at the time of payment.

We operate under a Mixed Billing Policy, balancing bulk billing for eligible patients with private fees for others.

Bulk Billing Eligibility:

The following groups are eligible for bulk billing (Monday – Friday):

• Children under 16 years of age
• Patients with a current Health Care Card
• Pension Card Holders
• DVA Gold Card Holders

Consultation Fees:

Standard Hours (Monday–Friday, before 8 pm and Saturdays until 1pm)

Medicare rebate can be claimed on-site

After Hours Service

Padbury Family Practice is pleased to announce that we have appointed WADMS as our deputised after hours medical service. This means that WADMS will be available with immediate effect to visit our patients in their homes. WADMS offers an in-hours and after-hours service. If you are in need of medical assistance during surgery hours, all requests for a doctor to visit you at home must be arranged by your Medical Practice on your behalf (if your GP is a member of our Deputising Service). Our after-hours care is designed to offer you a solution for any unexpected illness or injury when your regular GP is not available or the Medical Practice is closed. For routine consultations, we encourage patients to see their own GP during surgery hours.

These are :
After-hours :
Mon-Fri : 6PM to 8AM
Saturday – Monday : 12 noon – Monday 8AM

Contact :
08 9321 9133

WADMS is a mixed billing service. Pensioners, Veterans Affairs (gold cards), Children (up to 16 years) & Health Care Card holders can be bulk-billed. Speak to a member of our call centre team to confirm the fee you will be charged. WADMS is not equipped to deal with medical emergencies and in an emergency you should always call 000 or if able, make your way to the nearest Accident and Emergency Department.

Once you have used the WADMS Service it will send us a record of the visit, including details of any medicines prescribed to ensure that you receive continuity of care from your usual GP.

Normally you will be asked to make a follow up appointment for results. As this is not always necessary, we take responsibility for checking your results and will contact you if any result requires further action.
