Fee Increase
07/10/2022
We advise our patients that we intend to increase our fees in November.
We wish to remind you that we are a private billing Practice and appreciate payment on the day.
We don’t routinely Bulk Bill because we value or ability to provide quality service more than our Government does.
Medicare is your insurance rebate.
If you have extenuating financial circumstances, please discuss with your doctor.

Billing Update
22/08/2022
In order to cover the real cost of services currently provided at Glen Forrest Medical Centre, it is unfortunately necessary that we make some changes to our billing policy.
– As of 13th of August 2022, appointments booked during a Saturday clinic will be privately billed. This includes children over 2 and concession card holders.
***Immunisations and children under 2 will still be Bulk Billed***
– You will also find that dressings provided in our treatment room will incur a materials charge. In most cases $15 unless advised otherwise.
If you are normally Bulk Billed you will be charged a Consultation fee (which may be equivalent to the Medicare rebate) plus the materials fee. We will be able to claim the Medicare rebate back for you at the time of payment if you have an EFTPOS card or your bank details registered with Medicare. Ask your Doctor about the out of pocket cost.
To try and understand why we need to make these changes…
Medicare was established in February 1984 as a Federal Government Insurance Scheme to assist with the cost of Medical care.
The Medicare rebate has never been indexed against CPI. In fact it has been frozen for the last 6 out of 9 years.
Bulk Billing implies that the Practice accepts your Medicare rebate as the full fee for services provided.
Due to inflation this unfortunately no longer covers all the costs of providing this service including: building rental, staff wages, professional insurance, utilities, materials etc.
If you have any concerns please discuss with your GP.
Saturday Clinics
02/08/2022
As of Saturday 13th of August 2022, All consults during Saturday clinics will incur private fees.
This includes children over 2 years old and concession card holders.
We are able to claim a rebate from Medicare at the time of payment if you have bank details registered with Medicare or an EFTPOS card.

Waiting Room Changes at Glen Forrest Medical Centre
29/04/2022
The Waiting room is once again open for business!
Masks will however continue to be worn in the Medical Centre.
As of Friday 29 April 2022, the WA Government has removed several restrictions related to the Covid 19 pandemic due to the ongoing hard work of the WA public and the low rates of hospitalisation from Covid 19.
Whilst this is great news, we ask that masks continue to be worn within the Medical Centre for the time being.
This is for your own protection as well as for the protection of those around you.
If you are free of symptoms related to Covid 19 or other infectious disease then you are welcome to wait in the waiting room.
If you have symptoms possibly related to Covid 19 or another infectious disease, please do not enter the waiting room and remain in your car and the doctor will call you as close to the time of your appointment as possible (this is the same as we have been doing for well over a year and a half).
The reasons for our ongoing caution are due to us having many elderly and vulnerable patients who will require ongoing care for their many and varied health concerns and the fact that the Covid 19 rates of infection whilst stable still remain sizeable.
We are also entering winter with the annual flu season likely commencing shortly.
We are pleased to welcome you back and thank you for your understanding and care for one another during these challenging times!
