About Us

Welcome to Wamberal Surgery

Wamberal Surgery is located in the beachside suburb of Wamberal on the beautiful NSW Central Coast (near Terrigal). 

We have provided for over 55 years and continue to provide a high standard of medical care to all patients.  Wamberal Surgery was one of the first practices on the Central Coast to open extended hours and offer this service to the community. Wamberal Surgery has grown over these years and all the doctors and staff are just as committed today as they were back when we first opened.

Wamberal Surgery is privately owned and operated. 
Wamberal Surgery is fully accredited to the highest standards set by the Department of Health and the Australian Government. Wamberal Surgery is committed to patients and we welcome new patients to the practice.  

Wamberal Surgery strives to have a positive approach with an emphasis on preventative care and maintaining general good health.  Wamberal Surgery believes in regular health checks and healthy life choices. The doctors and staff take pride in their service and commitment to all patients.

IMPORTANT MEDICARE UPDATE FROM 1ST JULY 2026

From 1 July 2026, the Australian Government is changing the way patients provide consent for Medicare bulk-billed services. This process is called an Assignment of Benefit (AoB).

When you are bulk billed, you are assigning your Medicare rebate directly to your doctor or healthcare provider as payment for the service. Under the new rules, we must obtain and record your consent before we can submit a Medicare claim.

What does this mean for you?

  • You may be asked to confirm your consent electronically via SMS, email, tablet, or a paper form.
  • This consent allows Medicare to pay your rebate directly to the practice for your bulk-billed consultation.
  • The process is more secure and gives patients greater visibility of their Medicare claims.
  • There is no additional cost to you if your appointment is bulk billed.

 

What do I need to do?
If your appointment is eligible for bulk billing, you may receive a consent request by SMS, email, or be asked to provide consent in the clinic. This authorises Medicare to pay your rebate directly to the practice for your consultation, which allows us to process your Medicare claim correctly and remain compliant with Medicare requirements.

Please ensure you complete the consent request promptly. If consent is not provided, we are unable to submit a bulk-billed Medicare claim on your behalf. In these circumstances, your consultation may be converted to a privately billed consultation, and payment of the full consultation fee will be required on the day.

If you receive a consent request from us, please complete it as soon as possible

If you have any questions, our team will be happy to assist.

We appreciate your understanding.

 

With thanks from the team at Wamberal Surgery
