A trip to the doctor could cost over $100 with fee hikes to follow industry announcement

The price of privately billed GP appointments is set to increase to more than $100 next month, as the Australian Medical Association announced an update to its industry fee guide. The change will come into effect when the Consumer Price Index is adjusted to reflect inflation, in hopes of keeping struggling healthcare practices from going under.

Cost of a standard GP appointment set to rise to $100. The AMA fee guide currently advises practitioners to charge $98 for a non-bulk-billed standard session with a GP, but that’s about to change. When the CPI measures the rise of inflation again on November 1, the peak body will advise doctors in Australia to hike their fees by 4.57 per cent in 2023-24. The advised price of a standard session — which usually spans about 15 minutes — will increase to $102.
