From Monday, 14th October, we will be increasing our Practitioner consulting fee by $10 per visit, from $19.50 to $29.50 per visit. The change in fee will only impact patients who are over 18 and do not have a community services card.
This change helps us continue providing health care amid rising operational costs.
