📢 Important Update on Consultation Fees 📢
From September, the State Revenue Office imposed a payroll tax on disbursements/payments made to General Practitioners.
To allow the practice to continue to operate, sadly we are forced to pass this cost onto our patients.
Initially, the increase was $15 per consult; however, we have achieved an arrangement whereby the cost is $5 per consultation, but it will appear as a separate line item on your invoice. We understand and acknowledge the economic impact of this tax.
We encourage you to write to your local member and ask for change. You can reach Kevin Anderson at:

🔍 National Stroke Week 2024: Recognise the F.A.S.T. Signs 🔍
This National Stroke Week, we’re highlighting the importance of recognising stroke symptoms quickly. Knowing the F.A.S.T. signs can make a critical difference and potentially save a life. 🧠 F.A.S.T. stands for:
🤔 Face: Is one side of their face drooping or numb?
💪 Arms: Can they lift both arms, or is one weaker than the other?
🗨️ Speech: Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand? Do they seem confused?
⌛ Time: If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait—call 000 (triple zero) immediately.
Remember, a stroke is a medical emergency that requires immediate action. The faster you act, the better the chances of minimising damage. Every minute counts and the quicker you seek help, the better the outcome.
Spread the word this National Stroke Week by sharing the F.A.S.T. message with your loved ones, friends, and colleagues. Your knowledge could help save a life.

We regret to inform you that fees will be increasing due to the recent changes in the State Budget by the NSW State Government. Payroll Tax will now apply to contracted doctors, and as a result, fees will need to be raised by 10-20% starting from September 2024. This decision comes after two years of advocating for alternative solutions, and we have no choice but to resort to this measure.
We encourage you to read further information on our website:

If you believe this taxation will hinder your access to healthcare, please share your experience with the Hon. Kevin Anderson.
