What GPs Actually Earn from Home Visits in Australia
There is no single published rate for GP home visits. Here is what the sources show, with clear labels where a figure is only an example.
Home visit fees are set by each GP. One published example is Perth Home GP, which lists 226.55 dollars upfront for an in-hours home visit of up to 20 minutes. Medicare lists home visits under items such as item 37. In the clinic model, practices typically retain a service fee, with William Buck using 35 percent in its worked examples. On C.A.L.L.S you keep 100 percent (pricing).
Private home visit fees: one published example
Perth Home GP's fees page lists 226.55 dollars upfront for an in-hours home visit of up to 20 minutes, and 280.40 dollars upfront after hours, with the Medicare rebate returned to the patient. This is one provider in one city, not a national rate. On C.A.L.L.S you set your own fee.
Medicare items for home visits
MBS item 37 describes a general practitioner attendance outside consulting rooms of at least 20 minutes. Rebates change, so check MBS Online for current amounts. See our Medicare billing guide.
What the clinic model keeps
Industry sources describe contractor GPs keeping commonly 60 to 70 percent of billings, and William Buck's worked case study uses a 35 percent service fee, with a doctor charging private fees of 597 dollars per hour taking home 389 dollars. See what clinic owners charge GPs.
What C.A.L.L.S charges
A flat monthly membership of A$299, A$599 or A$999 and no commission (pricing). That is a cost you pay regardless of visit volume, and C.A.L.L.S does not guarantee bookings.
Illustrative arithmetic
If a GP billed 1,400 dollars in a day, the arithmetic is simple: a 35 percent service fee on 1,400 dollars is 490 dollars, whereas a flat membership does not change with billings. This is an illustration of the structure, not a forecast of earnings.
