You may have seen recent news about GP clinics returning to bulk billing from November 1st.
We want to let our patients know that Ripley Medical and Skin Clinic will continue as a mixed billing practice.
Our priority has always been to provide safe, thorough, and high-quality care — not rushed appointments. Remaining mixed billing allows our doctors to spend the time needed to listen, explain, and provide continuity of care with familiar GPs who know you and your health journey.
We understand that cost of living pressures are affecting everyone, so we’ll continue to offer lower-cost options, such as routine requests, where appropriate. Please speak to one of our friendly staff to learn more about this option.
Unfortunately, the government rebate still doesn’t reflect the true cost of delivering quality medical care, supporting our skilled nurses, and maintaining great administrative staff.
Thank you for continuing to value the time, care, and expertise that go into looking after your health. 💙
