DOES IT COST?
- Australian residents
The
UHS bills Medicare directly for the cost of most consultations. ‘Direct billing’ or
‘bulk billing’ means you do not pay the Health Service any money or present an
account or receipt to Medicare or to your family.
Bring your
current valid Medicare Card with you each time you
come.

Overseas students
The
UHS bills Worldcare Overseas Student Health Cover for
overseas students for the cost of most consultations. ‘Direct billing’ or
‘bulk billing’ means you do not pay the Health Service money or present an
account or receipt to Worldcare or to your family.
Bring your
current valid Worldcare
Overseas Student Health Cover Card to the Health Service with you each time you
come.
Students with Overseas Student Health Cover from other companies will need
to pay for the consultation and claim from their insurer.
Students are advised to obtain their own cards in the interests of their
convenience & privacy.
The University Health Service is required to charge for
consultations where there is no current card, or the card number cannot be
validated with Medicare (Medicare validation hours are 9.30 am to 4.30 pm).
There is a charge for most
vaccines.
Payment is generally expected at the time of
consultation.
The University Health Service accepts payment by all major credit cards, EFTPOS, cash or
cheque.
