Fees & Medicare rebates
GP Fees in Scarborough
These are the current GP fees at The Woods Medical Centre, 97 Scarborough Beach Road, Scarborough. Each fee shows the Medicare rebate and what you pay after it, so you know the cost before you book. Fees apply from 1 July 2026.
How our GP fees work
The Woods is a private billing general practice. The Medicare rebate does not cover the full cost of a thorough appointment, so an out-of-pocket fee applies. That is what allows our GPs to take the time a full skin check, a travel consultation or a complex health issue actually needs, rather than rushing single-issue visits.
Kindly note, full payment for your consultation is due immediately upon completion, which allows for the processing of your Medicare rebate.
We bulk-bill children under 12 and DVA cardholders, and offer reduced rates for pension card holders and other eligible patients on Weekdays.
All patients are privately billed on Saturdays.
GP fees for consultations, from 1 July 2026

Skin check cost and skin clinic fees
A standard skin check costs $124.85, or $79.80 after the Medicare rebate. A complex skin check, for people with many moles or a more involved history, costs $167, or $79.90 after the rebate. Pathology is billed separately by the lab and is usually fully covered by Medicare.
*Multiple Biopsies:
When multiple biopsies are taken in a single visit, Medicare’s rebate lessens for each additional biopsy. Similarly, your out-of-pocket cost (the “gap”) for the second and subsequent biopsies at our centre will also be reduced.
**Skin Procedures:
The out-of-pocket cost for skin procedures typically ranges from $129.00 to $500.00, depending on the location, type of lesion, and whether a flap or graft was required. Full payment for the procedure is required before we can process your Medicare rebate.
Please note:
The aforementioned fees do not include pathology costs which are separate to our fees. This is usually fully covered by Medicare.
