Patient Information Notification

At Daw Park Medical Centre, we are committed to providing high level of health care services together with easy access to your GP when you need.


For us to maintain the same level of service and coping with all the challenges that we face and to be able to keep up with the non-stop rise in the running cost for Medical Centres. Management has decided that we will - as of the 1st of January 2023 - initiate an out-of-pocket gap fee throughout the week.


How it works

After finishing your appointment

Patients will be asked to pay the full consult fee plus the gap payment after the consults and will be able to claim their Medicare rebate via one of the two following ways.

Eftpos

Instantly through our EFTPOS Tyro Machine, given that patient has paid the full amount with a Debit Card (Please Note: Credit cards are not acceptable for Medicare Rebate Claims).


EFT Bank & Medicare

Patients can claim the rebate through their EFT Bank detail to receive the rebate into their bank account the following day, conditioned that their bank details are registered with Medicare.

Please Note:


Fees may vary according to the nature of your consultation and will depend on the length of time that you spend with the GP, the complexity of your condition and additional services
