Script & Referral Requests


Kings Park Clinic have linked up with Automed to be able to send script/referral requests online to your doctor for their existing patients.


This tool is used for patients that need a script/referral that is ongoing and there is a cost of $24.00 to complete. If a doctor states a patient will need to make an appointment for a script/referral a refund will be sent to the patient.


If you are after an urgent script/referral please make an appointment to see your doctor as we allow the doctor up to 7 days to complete the script/referral in between their free consulting times.


Please click the blue button and follow the prompts to complete your request.

Fee change / Payroll Tax

The South Australian government has decided that General Practice clinics will have to pay Payroll Tax on funds received by doctors, starting July 1 2024. To recoup this cost, there will be a fee increase on all payments. By law, no additional fee can be added to bulk billed attendances, so services that are bulk billed will continue to be bulk billed.


This is a complicated issue. If you are interested, please keep reading.

General Practitioners at most clinics in Australia contract the clinic to provide adminstrative and nursing services, IT and utilities, rent and all other associated services. Payments from patients go the GP, who then pays a percentage to the clinic. This arrangement also means that GPs do not receive holiday, sick or parental leave. They do not get superannuation and are responsible for their own professional insurance and continuing professional development. They work the hours and weeks that they prefer. This has been the model for many years. 


In recent years, State Revenue Offices have been reviewing this model and have determined that the payments GPs receive are wages and that payroll tax is applicable. 


This clinic has always been registered for payroll tax for the administrative and nursing staff but has not previously reached the threshold to be required to pay payroll tax. The above ruling means that these wages and payments received by doctors are now included in the payroll tax liability.

Private Billing Practice

As from the 1st of April 2023 there will be new fee structures introduced.

 

We will continue to bulk bill (no gap) for consultations for current Department of Veterans Affairs Card holders .

 

Children aged between 0 and 5, Pension Card holders and Health Care Card holders, will be billed full fee with a reduced gap. Please see the table below for more information.

 

Saturday mornings and skin checks will be privately billed and attract a Medicare rebate.

 

Procedures attract an initial out-of-pocket expense, called a Treatment Room Levy (or TRL), which is NOT covered by Medicare. This is to cover the costs of the Treatment Room, Nurse, Instruments used & Sterilisation and is calculated on the length of time taken.

A second payment is to be made once the results come back from pathology. This amount varies depending on the procedure, is normally paid at your removal of stitches, and is sent to Medicare for a FULL rebate.


If you are experiencing financial hardship please speak to your doctor about the way you are billed.

Any variation of the fees is at the doctors discretion.


*Please note if paying EFT there will be a surcharge fee of up to 1.9% added. This includes all phone consults and online requests. If you do not want the fee added you will need to bring cash. All payments are expected to be paid on the day.
