Gymea Medical Practice is proud to have supported the health of the Gymea and Sutherland Shire communities for over thirty years. Our focus is to provide our patients with premium health care, ensuring we deliver the services that most meet your needs. As media reports are presently highlighting, the industry in which we operate is under immense pressure due to poor funding, and Medicare rebates have also been reduced considerably in recent years. Gymea Medical Practice is moving to a fully private fee model to continue providing quality patient care. This means there will be charges for face-to-face consultations, Telehealth and video Telehealth appointments. Your consultation will attract a rebate from Medicare if you are an eligible Medicare Card holder and only when applicable.
