Appletree Family Practice is a PRIVATE BILLING practice and our practitioners are no longer able to offer routine bulk-billed appointments to our patients.
All accounts must be paid for on the day of consultation. Accounts not paid on the day will incur a $10 account fee. If you have difficulties paying your account, please ask to speak to the Practice Manager.
Payments can be made by cash, EFTPOS, credit card or through our online payment system with HOTDOCS.

All invoices will attract a $5.00 Payroll Tax Co-Payment fee as of 21/07/2025. This will be paid in full, directly to the NSW Government.
At Appletree Family Practice, many of our doctors have additional training and areas of expertise. As a result, consultation fees may vary depending on the services provided. Below, you will find more information about specific practitioners and their associated higher fee structures.
Telehealth appointments are available where appropriate, as a convenience to you however, they do attract the same fees as in-surgery appointments. Telehealth appointments are payable at the time of booking or you may store your card for payment through our secure online payment system with HOTDOCS. This is required to have your telehealth appointment confirmed.
Late cancellation or Non-Attendance appointment policy
As the doctors at Appletree Family Practice are regularly fully booked, we have patients who are on a waiting list to be seen in the case of a cancellation. We understand that sometimes life happens and you may need to reschedule your appointment. However, we do require you to provide the practice with at least 4 working hours’ notice so we can attempt to fit other patients in. Non-attendance/ Late Cancellation fees apply if you don’t provide this notice and we are unable to fill your appointment. The fee charged will be the full consult fee as per your booked appointment. You are also able to cancel your appointment online up to 4 hours prior via HOTDOCS without charge. We thank all of the patients that attend Appletree Family Practice for respecting our practice policies in regard to this matter.
Patients with outstanding accounts will not be able to book another appointment until the outstanding account is paid.
