Fees and Billing
Best Life Medical Centre is a mixed billing clinic. Due to rising costs and limited increases in Medicare rebates, we no longer bulk bill all concession card holders. Fees must be paid on the day of consultation, and your Medicare rebate can be processed at the practice.
Please note: our consultation fees are increasing from Monday 5 October 2026. Both the current fees and the new fees are shown below.
Who is bulk billed?
- DVA Gold Card holders
- Children under 16
