Patient Information

Fees

Durrant Medical Clinic is a mixed billing practice.

Fees are determined by each doctor and by the complexity and time of the consultation. Fees are payable on the day.

We endeavour to keep our fees as affordable as possible. Consequently, we bulk bill children 15 years old and under Monday to Friday (fees apply for procedural appointments and from 5pm and Saturday).

To further assist you with payment we are able to transmit your claim on the spot and you will receive the medicare rebate promptly leaving you out of pocket only the difference.

Please note, TAC and WorkCover consultation fees are settled by the patient at the end of consultation. Patients claim their rebate directly with TAC and WorkCover. Fees differ from standard consultations.

Please note, credit card and EFTPOS surcharge applies on fees.

New Patients

We welcome new patients to Durrant Medical Clinic.

We require new patients book a 30-minute appointment as the doctor needs time to get to know you, and your medical and family history.

We ask all new patients to bring along a list of all their current medications, photo ID and Medicare Card to their first visit. If you have any previous history such as mental health plans, chronic health plans etc please bring these to your appointment also. Alternatively, we will request your records from your previous GP.

You can do this online via HotDoc or via the button below. Should you have any queries kindly call our friendly reception team.
