Leichhardt Women’s Community Health Centre is committed to providing accessible healthcare, and we will never deny women access to care because of an inability to pay. If you are under genuine financial difficulties, please speak with your clinician during your consultation.
For all GP and Nurse Clinics please bring your valid Medicare card. Also bring your valid Pensioner Card, Health Care Card, or Full time Student Card if applicable.
Patients will be charged the total fee, and the Medicare Rebate will be refunded back to you by Medicare. The ‘Gap’ fee is your out-of-pocket cost. If you meet the bulk billing criteria outlined above, you will not be charged a gap fee for medical appointments.
Fees
Leichhardt Women’s Community Health Centre has implemented a mixed model of billing to ensure a sustainable clinical service. The introduction of fees helps us maintain our capacity to help all women in need of our care. Different services attract different fees. Please refer to the service required for the relevant pricing information.
