GP Consultation Fees & Billing Information at Googong Family Practice
At Googong Family Practice, we believe that exceptional healthcare should be accessible and affordable for all members of our community. Located in the heart of Googong, our family medical centre provides high-quality, patient-centred care with a transparent and fair fee structure.
While Medicare rebates have not kept pace with the rising costs of delivering quality medical care, we remain committed to keeping out-of-pocket expenses as low as possible. Our priority is delivering personalised medical support while ensuring our services remain sustainable and accessible.
We offer Medicare claiming eligible services, with rebates processed on the spot—meaning you can have your rebate deposited directly into your nominated bank account. Payment in full is required at the time of your consultation, and we accept cash, EFTPOS, and most credit cards.
