Current Fees

Please note our fees will change from 1 February 2025. Please see updated fees table below.

Smith Street Medical Centre is a private billing practice. Pension and healthcare card holders may be entitled to a discounted fee. The fees are what you will be charged according to your concession status and the rebate is what you will receive back from Medicare.Today Medicare rebates do not cover the full cost of providing you with medical care.This is because the rate at which successive governments have indexed the Medicare Schedule fees has been substantially lower than increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and average weekly earnings.

The reality is that Medicare rebates do not cover the cost of providing you with a safe and high quality service.

In addition, from September 2024, the NSW Government will introduce an additional Tax Levy on General Practice.

This means:

Practices, such as ours, will be forced to increase fees to remain sustainable
From 1 September, the out-of-pocket cost for a standard consultation will increase by approximately $5
We understand the cost of living pressures most people are facing and have tried our best to manage this Tax Levy in the fairest possible way for everyone.

The fees charged by this practice have to cover all of our practice costs including employing receptionists and practice nurses, and meeting our operating expenses such as rent, medical equipment, electricity, computers and insurance. This results in an out of pocket cost to the patient, as per our fees policy.

If you wish to let the Government know that the Medicare rebate is insufficient to assist you in meeting the cost of your medical care, please contact your local Member of Parliament and/or the Minister for Health.
