Fees

West Beach Medical Centre is a private billing practice, which means that the majority of our services are privately billed to our patients based on the AMA rates.

​

Reception staff are not able to offer bulk billing unless instructed to do so by the doctor.

​

All Workcover/MVA consultations must be paid on the day.
