GP practice asks patients to pay a $3 fee to cover its looming payroll tax bill
The Canberra practice has urged patients to write to their local MPs about the increased costs.
A general practice has been charging a $3 levy on each consult to cover its looming payroll tax bill.
East Canberra General Practice has placed posters in its waiting room and a notice on its website, explaining it was imposing the $3 levy on patients as it was “unable to absorb this new tax”.
