I would love to know what the outcome of this was.

If female GP consultations are longer then the male GP consultations, it would make sense to charge more. I guess if you think your appointment won’t go longer then standard, then see the male GP. I know I went to see a female GP for a Pap smear and a couple of other little things. I left the smear til last only to be told the GP didn’t have time, I would have to book another appointment at a later date. I thought that was a bit rude. It takes me forever to talk myself into having a smear, to then be turned away, it wasn’t good

This is so stupid, it should be all the same male or female.

Just another injustice for those born female. Sad that it’s other females complicit in this one.

That is ludicrous, I am glad they are being investigated, just disgraceful!

The fees should be the same!

That’s crazy and shouldn’t be allowed. I am shocked this is in Australia.

Surely one of interest for the discrimination office? I would vote wiht my feet!

  Oops! should read with my feet!

Not fair at all, I agree. 🙁

And that happens here in Australia ? Absurd and discriminatory !

Arh I don’t think that it’s very fair, it’s no ones fault that they are born female (male) so we shouldn’t be charged extra because if our gender

This is ridiculous. I wonder how the Doctors/Practice thought people would just accept this and put up with it. They obviously didn’t think it through at all.

The price you pay ends up being the same regardless, once you get the gap payment back. It’s costly enough having to go see a Dr as it is especially when you have to pay that amount up front
