About Us
Updated Fee policy: From 3rd of June, 2024 Redicare medical centre
From 3rd of June, 2024, we will reduce the availability of bulk billing, which means you might incur a small out of pocket fee for some services. This is due to ongoing discrepancy between the cost of operating a general practice clinic and low increase in the federal government’s Medicare rebates.
This decision has not been made lightly and is necessary to continue to provide high-quality health care health care to our local community.
We will continue to bulk bill concession, pension and health care card holders, children under the age of 16 and applicable health assessments and chronic disease management plans.
