We are a Mixed Billing Practice
Access to healthcare for the community we serve is important to us. Sussex Doctors’ unwavering commitment to maintaining and improving the quality of the healthcare services we deliver is our top priority. Sussex Doctors will now become a Mixed- Billing practice to protect the sustainability of our practice and ensure the standard of the services we provide. This will allow us to maintain the highest quality of care we provide while still being able to address our patients with substantial needs.
Most consultations are time-based and will incur private fees for patients who are not eligible under the bulk-billing criteria. Fees are payable at the time of consultation by cash, credit card or EFTPOS.

- Children under 16 years of age
- Patients over 65 years old
- Commonwealth Concession Card holders
