Understanding Our Mixed Billing Model
At The Madison Medical Practice Northbridge, we operate as a mixed billing practice. This means we offer both bulk billing and private billing options, depending on your age, circumstances, and the day of your visit.
Our billing structure is designed to make quality healthcare accessible while ensuring we can continue to provide comprehensive medical services to our community. We encourage you to review our practice policies for full details on billing and appointments.
If you have questions about your eligibility for bulk billing or would like to understand what rebates you may receive, our friendly reception team is happy to assist you before your appointment.
Weekday Consultation Billing
Who qualifies for bulk billing on weekdays?
We are a mixed billing practice.
On weekdays, children aged 15 and under and adults aged 75 and over are bulk billed for standard GP consultations, which usually means no out-of-pocket cost.
Patients aged 16 to 74 are privately billed. Medicare rebates apply, but there will be a gap fee.
Please note that additional fees may apply for longer, more complex, or specialised services. Patients without Medicare will need to pay the full fee.For more information about our billing categories, please see our page on bulk billing eligibility.

Important Information About Our Fees
Additional charges and professional services
The fees listed above are used as a guide. As General Practitioners are independent consulting medical professionals, in some circumstances they may charge additional fees on top of a standard billing consultation for more complex professional specialist services. Your GP will advise at the time of your consultation if an extra fee will be applied.
All consulting GPs, Allied Health Professionals and Medical Specialists operate their own medical business through The Madison Medical Practice Northbridge in a commercial agreement.
