WeCare Health is a mixed billing practice. We do a combination of both bulk billing and private billing.
Our doctors have different billing policies so please make yourself familiar with specific billing fees before making an appointment.
We bulk bill Pensioners, Health Care Cards holders and children 16 years and younger for GP visits.
There are also specific out of pocket expenses for procedures.
How does this work
The way gap fee works is you pay the initial fee as outlined in the fee structure and the Medicare rebate is the money that you can claim back from Medicare. We can process Medicare rebates for you.

For patients who DO NOT have a valid Medicare card will have to pay a private fee. Overseas insurance is not processed on site. After finishing your appointment, we will give you a hard copy of the tax invoice which can be used to claim your overseas health insurance.
A non-attendance notification letter will be issued after the 2nd non-attendance. A $30.00 non-attendance fee will be enforced if not cancelled within 24 hours on 3rd occasion and no further appointments will be offered until account is paid
Yes, we offer counselling over a phone call.
We Care Health is now giving telephonic consultations in light of the COVID-19 situation.
To arrange a phone consultation, please get in touch with us at 02 6324 6688.
You also can schedule an appointment with us online. In that case, our team will reach you to validate your one-on-one session.
We Care Health welcomes walk-ins.
Please ensure that you follow the clinic’s health protocols.
You may have to wait if you walk in without fixing an appointment but emergencies are always cared for timely.
However, we always advise you to book an appointment before arriving because we prioritise those who have scheduled in advance for a consultation.
Due to safety reasons, we cannot share delicate medical information over the phone call.
It is challenging to ascertain a caller’s identity, allowing corrupt people to access sensitive data such as test results.
Also, our doctors’ time would be tough to manage if they were continually interrupted to examine test results with patients.
Here, the best option is to speak with a staff member and ask when the results will be ready, then schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss it.
To get a medical certificate, you need to consult with your doctor.
You should keep in mind that medical certificates cannot be retroactively issued.
If you need a medical certificate, please consult early in your illness.
