Terms and Conditions of Trade

The following Terms of Trade apply to services provided by Amberley Medical Centre to its patients.

Consultation Fees :

A current price list is displayed in the waiting room and on our website. Prices quoted for services may be adjusted from time to time, and the customer hereby agrees to pay any such adjusted price, e.g. in instances where cost of goods increases, government surcharges increases, errors or omissions by Amberley Medical Centre or its representatives. Prices include GST unless otherwise stated.

Standard Consultation :

A standard consultation is 15 minutes duration. During a standard consultation, the clinician may complete one matter. The clinician will advise you if multiple requests cannot be met within a standard consultation. A double consultation can be booked at request. The charge for a double consultation is twice the cost of a single consultation (CSC discounts do not apply on the second consultation).

Government Funding :

Newly enrolled patients are not funded until the 1st of the month following enrolment and will be charged at a casual patient rate until the 1st of the month following enrolment. 

Fee Payment :

Unless otherwise agreed, all services are expected to be paid for on the date of service.

No staff member at Amberley Medical Centre may agree to other terms than as written in this contract.

Payment is accepted in the form of cash, EFTPOS, credit card or direct credit.

Where payment is not made on the day, a $10 administration fee may be applied. Full payment of invoice and admin fee shall be made within 7 days.

We reserve the right to require payment before booking is confirmed to ensure payment.

Amberley Medical Centre may withhold further provision of service where there is any outstanding amount due, except in an emergency.

Cancellation / Non-attendance Fee :

A cancellation fee will be charged if you fail to keep an appointment or give less than 4 hours notice of cancellation. The fee will be the standard consult rate for the time booked.



Late / Overdue Payments :

Where patients are in breach of agreed payment terms, we may disclose this information to debt collection agencies and legal proceedings may follow. This may result in your name and address being entered into the Computer Bureau default listing which will have an impact on your credit rating.

Interest may be charged on overdue accounts at a rate to be decided by Amberley Medical Centre from time to time. Collection fees and costs incurred to recover outstanding monies will be payable by the customer.

Amberley Medical Centre may disclose my personal information for debt collection, repossession, credit reporting and other similar purposes.

Termination of the contract may apply where there is non-payment without prejudice to any claims Amberley Medical Centre Limited may have.

Variations to the Terms of Trade may occur from time to time, and Amberley Medical Centre will notify the patient by way of invoice – receipt of which shall be deemed to be acceptance by the patient.
