Woolloongabba Medical Centre are committed to deliver the highest level of patient medical care. Due to higher costs of providing a quality medical service we have to apply bulk billing.
From 5.10.23 all Telehealth consultations will incur a fee. This fee applies to everybody including Concession Card Holders, Children, Results and follow up by phone. The fee is $41.20 (No Gap).
This fee applies to Telehealth only and concession card holders, children, results etc, will still be bulk billed when you come to the surgery for an appointment.
This is a bulk billing practice. Fees are based on the time you spent with your doctor, and the complexity of the medical problem.
