Due to the rising costs of business and the ongoing shortfall of Medicare to meet these costs, First Light Healthcare wishes to remind our valued patients that we are a private billing practice. Patients 15 years and under, DVA Gold Card holders, Aboriginal and or/Torres Strait Islander people will be bulk billed under Medicare.

All others, including Pension/Health Care Card holders, will be privately billed, and will be asked to pay a fee at the time of their visit. Once payment is made, the Medicare rebate will then be processed back to the patient’s account. Please review the Fee Schedule below for a list of both full and concession fees, as well as Out-of-Pocket costs.

Non-Medicare patients will be required to pay the full fee at the time of their visit.

We encourage our regular patients to take advantage of bulk billed Chronic Health plans or Preventative Health Assessments, if eligible, and attend appointments for reviews that you may be prompted.

If you wish to let the Government know that the Medicare rebate is insufficient to assist you in meeting the cost of your medical care, please contact your local Member of Parliament at –
