Fully Bulk Billed Healthcare

At Park Grove Medical Centre, we believe everyone should have access to quality healthcare. That’s why we proudly offer fully bulk billed GP consultations for patients with a valid Medicare card, meaning there are no out-of-pocket costs for eligible standard consultations.

Our commitment to bulk billing helps remove financial barriers so you can access the care you need, when you need it.

What is Bulk Billing?

Bulk billing means we bill Medicare directly for your consultation, so you don’t have to pay anything for eligible services covered by Medicare.

Additional Fees

While most GP consultations are fully bulk billed, some services may incur additional costs. These can include:

  • Medicals for employment, insurance or driving
  • Commercial driver’s licence assessments
  • Reports, forms and certificates not covered by Medicare
  • Procedures or services not eligible for Medicare rebates

If a fee applies, our team will let you know before your appointment.

Questions?

If you’re unsure whether your appointment is bulk billed or if you have any questions about fees, please contact our friendly reception team. We’re always happy to help.

Dr Sam Atkins

General Practioner

Born and raised in Launceston, Sam and his family have recently made the move to Burnie. While we all know the real drawcard was the fishing and new golf courses to explore, Sam’s professional answer is that he’s passionate about delivering an exceptional integrated general practice in Burnie and supporting a strong training pathway for local graduates who can now complete their entire medical degree in Burnie.

Before pursuing medicine, Dr. Atkins worked as both a pharmacist and an Air Force Officer. He later completed his medical studies in Newcastle and undertook his residency at Launceston General Hospital. Dr. Atkins is passionate about all areas of General Practice including skin cancer medicine.

Dr. Jerome Muir Wilson

Founder & Director

Jerome is a co-founder of the Launceston Health Hub, located just over the back fence from the Launceston General Hospital. He is passionate about improving the health of Tasmanians by building what he sees as Tasmania’s leading health ecosystem, one that gives patients access to timely, high-quality care close to home and real choices about their health.

Jerome is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and was awarded the Tasmanian Faculty Gold Medal. He works across general practice, urgent care, and sports and occupational medicine, and is an accredited supervisor who enjoys supporting and mentoring other doctors. He has been closely involved in the growth of services including Launceston Medical Centre, Norwood Medical Centre, and the Launceston Medicare Urgent Care Clinic, and has also contributed at a governance level through roles with St Luke’s Health Insurance, Salveo Healthcare Services, and General Practice Training Tasmania.

He has a strong interest in sports medicine and enjoys working with athletes from the Tasmanian Institute of Sport, the JackJumpers, and supporting several football teams across Northern Tasmania. If there is a sideline nearby, chances are Jerome is not far from it.

Outside of work, Jerome has swapped his footy boots for a mountain bike. He loves spending time with his young family and is at his happiest unwinding on the beach in Stanley, usually with sand between his toes and very deliberately not checking his emails.
