Summary
Royal Park Medical is a private billing practice.
Fees are payable on the day of your appointment. Charges vary depending on the length of time you spend with the doctor and the complexity of your medical condition. We cannot always predict how much time your consultation will take. If you are eligible for a Medicare rebate, you can claim back some of the cost of your consultation and we can process this instantly for you at the reception counter.
As our doctors are independent, they set their own fees. The fees listed here are a guide.
Procedures, travel and non-schedule vaccines and some consumables will incur an extra cost. Please discuss the charges with your doctor beforehand.
Our doctors review their fees annually, using the benchmarks published by the AMA (Australian Medical Association). Fees are being adjusted in July 2025 as listed below. The table lists the AMA rates for different lengths of consultation.

Medicare Rebates
Ways to get your Medicare rebate:
- Instant Medicare rebates can be processed by our payment terminals at reception — you can pay by credit card, but need a debit bank card to get the rebate
- Telehealth appointments are billed automatically at the end of the consultation, and rebates are processed immediately
- Lodge Medicare claims online through Medicare Online Services
- Submit a Medicare claim form by mail or at a drop-box at a Medicare Service Centre
- Claim in person at a Medicare service centre
International Students & Visitors
If you do not have a Medicare card, the fees above are payable on the day of your appointment. There is no automatic rebate. If you have Visitor or Overseas Student health insurance cover you may be able to claim a partial rebate from the insurer.
WorkCover and TAC
WorkCover applies to consultations about an injury that has occurred in the workplace. TAC applies to consultations about injuries sustained in a road traffic accident. Medicare does not rebate these consultations.
Royal Park Medical requires patients to pay in full for their WorkCover or TAC consultation. You can then seek reimbursement from the relevant insurance company or your employer. There will be an out of pocket cost.
The employer should reimburse the first $855 of medical and like expenses for a WorkCover claim.
TAC claims after 2018 are no longer subject to a medical excess. The TAC will start to reimburse medical treatment expenses from the day of the accident.
