FEE INCREASE for 2024

Jan 15, 2024

Please be advised The Surgery at Jerra’s fee schedule will increase from Monday 29 January 2024.

Our consultation fees take into account the growing costs of running a medical practice, including medical indemnity cover and other insurances, the higher cost of medical equipment and supplies, staff and operating expenses.

We cannot absorb these rising expenses.

Your Medicare rebate has failed to keep up with the rising costs of running a general practice. If you’d like to discuss the cost of health care, please feel free to contact your local or federal member.

Standard consults will increase to $103.

For more information, ask at reception or go to the patient information section.

We are pleased to announce that Dr Renee Robarts will be working out of The Surgery at Jerra from mid July 2023.

She is an experienced GP with almost 20 years of practice in urban and rural general practice.

Dr Robarts’s main passion in medicine is listening and providing true care and compassion to all her patients.

She has expertise in mental health and veteran’s health. She is a veteran herself and has served as a uniformed, RAAF aviation doctor and served in multiple operational deployments around the world, namely in the Middle East.

Dr Robarts has recently worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs and has an interest in assisting veterans with all their DVA business.

TIME TO SAY CHEERIO TO DR PETE

Dec 15, 2022

After more than 11 years at TSAJ, it’s time for a change for Dr Peter Cole.
He finishes up at the practice in late January 2023 and we wish him well as he enters a new stage in his career.
TSAJ owners, Dr David Yates and business manager Kylie Yates would personally like to thank Dr Pete for being an integral part in making TSAJ what it is today. He will always be considered an important member of the TSAJ family, a GP grandfather of the practice, if you will.
He is much loved, respected and admired.. even if he is English!
