We will provide you with a care team that knows you and your family and help you stay healthy.
Due to rising costs and unforeseen circumstances, Orion Medical Center no longer offers universal bulk billing.
We are now a mixed billing clinic.
We will continue to bulk-bill healthcare card holders, pensioners and children < 16 years of age.
We share your concerns about the current Pandemic and we will also bulk-bill anyone who has been stood down or otherwise lost their job.
We are also able to provide bulk-bill telephone consults (if eligible) for any of the above who would be at increased risk of Covid related complications if they have to travel and attend in person.
For example this can include patients with existing respiratory complaints (e.g. Asthma), or chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes, heat disease and many more).
If you are unsure of your status then ring our main clinic number to clarify.
We can also bulk bill simple / straight-forward consults at our discretion.
