Bulk Billing and Fees in Rockingham
We bulk bill all eligible Medicare services at Thorpe Street Health. Here is what that means, what Medicare covers, and the few things that sit outside it.
Where we stand
What You Will Pay
Seeing a GP
Bulk billing for all eligible Medicare services
You pay nothing on the day for anything Medicare covers. Bring your Medicare card, and any concession card you hold.
A few things sit outside Medicare — some procedures, certain certificates and travel vaccinations. Reception will tell you the cost when you book, so you know before you arrive rather than at the counter.

Before the practice opens
Our full fee detail is still being confirmed
Thorpe Street Health opens on 10 August 2026. Bulk-billed GP appointments are available, and we would rather say that plainly than publish a fee table we have not finalised.
Still being settled: which appointment types are bulk billed, what any private fees are, and our cancellation policy. Until those are confirmed, reception is the only place you will get an accurate answer about your own appointment — so please ring rather than assume, in either direction.
This page will carry the full detail as soon as it is final. If a cost matters to your decision to come in, ask us. Nobody minds the question, and it is a better question to ask before an appointment than after one.
In plain English
What the billing words mean
These mean the same thing at every practice in Australia. Knowing them is most of what you need to ask the right question at any reception desk, not only ours.
- Bulk billed
- The practice bills Medicare directly for the whole fee and you pay nothing on the day. You show your Medicare card and sign or tap to confirm the claim.
- Medicare rebate
- The amount Medicare pays towards an appointment. On a bulk-billed visit it covers the fee entirely. On a private visit it is refunded to you afterwards.
- Gap fee
- The difference between what a practice charges and what Medicare rebates — the part you pay yourself. It varies by practice and by appointment type.
- Private billing
- You pay the practice and claim the Medicare rebate back. Without a Medicare number there is no rebate, so the full fee applies.
On the day
Bring Your Medicare Card
Medicare cannot be billed without your number, and an appointment that could have been bulk billed becomes a private one without it. It is the single most expensive thing to leave at home.
If the card itself is lost, the number alone is usually enough. Services Australia will give it to you over the phone, and it is in the myGov app if you have it set up.
Bring any concession card too — Pension, Health Care, Commonwealth Seniors or DVA. What they change depends on the appointment, and reception can tell you before you are seen.
