Frequently Asked Questions
What is Bulk Billing?
Bulk Billing means that the cost of your consultation is fully covered by Medicare, so you don’t need to pay upfront or claim anything back. Simply present your valid Medicare card at the time of your appointment.
Do any fees apply?
While all standard GP consults are Bulk Billed, private fees may apply for:
• Procedures not covered by Medicare
• Patients without a valid Medicare card
• Allied Health services
• Specialist consultations
• WorkCover, CTP claims, and other non-standard services
We’ll always let you know in advance if any additional fees apply.
How do I pay for non-GP services?
For services that aren’t Bulk Billed:
• All fees are payable in full on the day of your appointment
• We accept EFTPOS and major credit cards
Do you accept new patients?
Yes, Cairns Central Medical is currently accepting new patients. We welcome individuals, families, and children and aim to provide ongoing, patient centred care.
What if I don’t have a Medicare card?
If you don’t have a valid Medicare or concession card, you’ll be charged a private fee and won’t be eligible for a Medicare rebate.
Do you offer chronic disease management and care plans?
Yes. Our GPs provide chronic disease management, including GP Management Plans and Team Care Arrangements where appropriate. These plans support patients with long term conditions and help coordinate ongoing care.
What languages are spoken at the clinic?
Our doctors speak English, and some doctors also speak Arabic and Tagalog (Filipino). Please let our reception team know if you have a language preference when booking.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring your Medicare card, any relevant concession cards, a list of current medications, and any referral letters or test results if applicable.
