Family doctor and GP prices in Australia: what to expect

Updated 11 November 2026

A standard GP appointment in Australia typically costs A$80 to A$120 paid upfront, and the Medicare rebate for a standard consult is A$45.05. A longer appointment of 20 to 40 minutes is priced at about A$170 to A$190. For a quote from a clinic near you, post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rebate and the gap you pay

The Medicare rebate covers part of the fee, and the rest is the gap. For a A$95 standard consult with a A$45.05 rebate, the gap is about A$50. Fees are set by each medical provider, so ask the clinic for the total before you book.

Registration rules for doctors

Every doctor must be registered with AHPRA. The general registration application fee is A$1,661, and from 1 August 2026 the annual fee is A$1,102 (A$925 for NSW registrants). Ask which doctor will see you and check that the doctor is registered before you book.

Season and booking

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. The season does not change the fee, so state the weeks and days you can attend in your request, and say whether you need a standard visit or a longer one.

How the visit is priced

Appointments are priced per visit, not per hour. One provider charges A$100 for a phone or video consultation with no Medicare rebate, so ask whether the price is for in-person or video before you book. Clinics are available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, so name your suburb or area in the request.
