Florence Street Family Practice offers affordable, accessible GP care in Hornsby NSW — and for many eligible patients, that includes bulk billing. Bulk billing is available for children, pensioners, Health Care Card holders, and Pensioner Concession Card holders, as well as across a range of specific services including health assessments, vaccinations, and chronic disease management.
Finding an Affordable Accessible GP in Hornsby NSW
Accessibility is about more than cost. It is about whether you can get an appointment without a long wait, whether the clinic is easy to reach, and whether it offers the breadth of services your family actually needs. Florence Street Family Practice is located at Suite 6, Ground Floor, 32 Florence Street, right next to Westfield Hornsby and a short walk from Hornsby Station. The building is fully accessible for patients with mobility or disability needs, and parking is available in the Westfield centre directly adjacent.
On-site pathology collection means most patients can have blood tests and samples taken at the same visit, without a separate trip across town. Allied health services, including a qualified psychologist, are also available so the referral chain stays short. Our team sees patients across all life stages, from infants through to seniors, with a comprehensive service list that includes:
- Paediatrics, child vaccinations, and developmental assessments
- Chronic disease management for diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and more
- Women’s and men’s health, including cancer screening and preventive care
- Seniors’ health, mobility support, and aged care planning
- Skin and mole checks
- Mental health support and psychology
- Travel consultations and vaccinations
Who Is Eligible for Bulk Billing?
Bulk billing at Florence Street Family Practice is available to a range of Medicare cardholders. Eligible patients include children and adolescents, Pensioner Concession Card holders, Health Care Card holders, and Commonwealth Seniors Health Card holders. Bulk billing also applies across specific service types regardless of general eligibility, including:
- Health assessments and chronic disease management plans
- Child and adult vaccinations, including COVID-19 and flu
- Longer telehealth consultations for eligible MyMedicare-registered patients
If you hold a concession card or are unsure whether a particular service will be bulk billed, calling ahead is always the simplest way to clarify. Our reception team is experienced in these questions and happy to help before you book.
MyMedicare: Extra Benefits for Pensioners, Concession Card Holders, and Families
Patients who register Florence Street Family Practice as their MyMedicare practice unlock additional benefits that go beyond standard bulk billing. Registered patients can access longer MBS-funded telephone and telehealth consultations, and there is a triple bulk billing incentive for extended telehealth appointments for children under 16, pensioners, and concession card holders. For patients who find it difficult to attend in person due to mobility, work commitments, or caring responsibilities, this makes a genuine practical difference to how they access care.
MyMedicare registration also formalises continuity of care: seeing the same GP and healthcare team consistently is associated with better long-term health outcomes. Ask our reception team about registering at your next visit.
After-Hours Options for Hornsby Families
Florence Street Family Practice is open Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 6pm, and Saturday mornings from 8:30am to 12pm, accommodating most working families and school-day schedules. For medical concerns outside these times, we recommend 1300 Home Doctor on 1300 466 347. This after-hours home visiting service operates overnight, on weekends, and on public holidays for patients in the Hornsby area.
MyMedicare-registered patients also have access to longer bulk billed telehealth consultations during business hours, which can reduce the need for after-hours visits where concerns can be addressed by phone. Speak to your GP about which appointments are suited to telehealth versus an in-person visit.
