Bulk billing at UFS Medical
We’re excited to announce that we’re making high-quality, patient-centred healthcare even more accessible at three of our medical centres!
Effective now, all GPs at Doveton Street, Windermere Street and Lucas UFS medical centres are bulk billing all patients with a green Medicare card, for eligible consultations, meaning no out-of-pocket costs for a general appointment with your GP — whether short, standard, long, or prolonged.
This means you can access care when you need it, not when you can afford it, and continue to:
- Spend time with your GP, who’s dedicated to listening to your concerns and providing thoughtful care
- See your usual GP for continuity of care
- Enjoy the same personalised, safe healthcare, regardless of billing practices.
Please note that some procedures, vaccinations, and allied health services may incur a private fee.
Some GPs at Sebastopol UFS Medical bulk bill eligible consultations for patients with a valid Medicare card, other GPs have mixed billing arrangements – please contact our friendly reception team for more information.

Procedural Fees
Procedures are minor surgeries performed within the medical centre treatment rooms. They include removal of lesions or small cysts, possible or confirmed skin cancers, or other moles or freckles. Generally, our nursing team assists the treating GP, and patients will have sutures (stitches), a wound care dressing and post-procedure instructions on how to care for the incision (cut into the skin).
UFS Medical GPs provide a range of minor procedures and iron infusions. Our general procedural and iron infusion fees are included below, however, these may be subject to change due to complexity or length of procedure or infusion. Please speak with your treating GP about fees you may incur for these services.
