MSM providing high quality healthcare to the community

Why We Cannot Bulk Bill Everyone.

From 1st November 2025, the government's new bulk billing incentive rewards short, rushed consultations.

We believe your health deserves time and quality, not quick medicine.

Bulk billing does not cover the real cost of care - True
Medicare will pay more for very short (brief) visits - False
Doctors will be rushed to push patients through - True

We will remain mixed billing so we can:
Give you the time you deserve
Provide safe, thorough care
Stay sustainable for the future

Thank you for supporting quality care.

26/10/2025

While the Government is introducing expanded bulk billing incentives on November 1st, these payments still do not fully cover the cost of the comprehensive, high-quality care we provide.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of our practice and our ability to continue to serve our local community, we will maintain our current fee structure and continue to only bulk bill patients who are concession card holders or are 15 years and younger.
Please contact reception for details regarding our fees and associated Medicare rebates.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month (BCAM).
The aim of the BCAM is to shine a light on the devastating impact breast cancer has on thousands of Australians each day.
Every year over 21,000 people in Australia (including around 200 men) will be diagnosed with breast cancer and every year over 3,300 people in Australia (including 33 men) will die from breast cancer.
Don't hesitate to see your GP if you notice any changes in your breasts or have any concerns.
