Please note changes in our billing policy
Effective from 1st June 2023
Due to increase in cost to maintain the medical practice we are bringing these changes in our fee structure.
At My GP Gungahlin we are always working hard to give you the best services to support your ongoing health care goals.
Thank you for your loyalty to My GP Gungahlin.
Lately, due to the current economic climate, we’ve seen many companies nationwide feel the flow-on effects of the cost of living. Understandably the costs associated with operating our clinic facilities increases every year.
Unfortunately, the Medicare rebates are not indexed to meet current inflation.
