Fees
This is a private billing practice, however we endeavour to keep our fees affordable to ensure all patients have access to essential healthcare.
We accept EFTPOS, credit cards and cash for your convenience. Patients will receive a rebate from Medicare for privately billed consultations. Surcharges apply to all credit, debit and Eftpos payments.
We use Tyro which is a quick, secure and convenient way to claim your rebate on the spot.
Bulk billing is available to patients 15 years old and under and anyone holding a Commonwealth Aged Pension Card.
Anyone holding a Commonwealth Concession Card (Health Care card, Disability Pension Card, Senior Card) and full-time students between the age of 16 and 25 years old will be charged a reduced fee incurring an approximate $ 20.00 out-of-pocket amount for all face to face and telehealth consultations.
All new patients booking an initial appointment with Dr Peter Striegl independently from holding a Commonwealth Concession card will incur an initial fee of $ 145.00 with a $ 76.95 Medicare rebate and a $ 68.05 out-of-pocket. This initial fee does not incur to children 15 years old and under.
All consultations are required to be paid in full on the day of the appointment and the Medicare rebate will be processed immediately.
All DVA Gold Card holders have their accounts paid by the Department of Veteran Affairs. There are no additional fees payables at any time.
All patients will incur a fee on Saturday and bulk billing is not available. Reduced fees are applicable to eligible patients on Saturdays.

A $ 20.00 fee will also apply if a patient fails to attend an appointment without notifying the practice.
