Privacy Policy
We are a campus medical clinic dedicated solely to caring for current University of Queensland domestic students; international students and their dependents; and staff.
Staff and domestic students
Consultations are bulk billed to Medicare with a current Medicare card.
International students
GP consults are billed directly to Allianz.
If you are covered by another provider, you will need to pay at the time of your consultation and then seek a rebate from your insurer.
When you arrive
Present at reception upon arrival. You will need to show your:
Student or staff ID card
Medicare or international medical insurance card
As an International Student, it is a condition of your student visa that you have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the duration of your student visa in Australia.
OSHC coverage, including out of hospital and in hospital medical services, are detailed in the policy document.
However it is important to understand that for non-emergency hospital care, including maternity (pregnancy) services, access to some medical services in some public hospital may be limited.
This means that public hospital services for non-emergency care, including maternity (pregnancy) services, may not be available to you when you need them. In these instances, you may be required to access medical services through a private hospital. Private hospital health care will typically incur some out of pocket costs that are not covered by your Overseas Student Health Cover policy and will be your responsibility.
Please note that for maternity (pregnancy) services, these out of pocket costs could range from $4,000 to $10,000, depending on the level of maternity service/care provided.
Therefore, if you are considering falling pregnant whilst studying in Australia, it is recommended that you discuss this further with your GP and OSHC health provider to look at the services available and the anticipated costs involved.
If you’re enrolled in a program or course that involves working with animals or in agricultural environments, you may need to provide The University of Queensland (UQ) with evidence of vaccination or immunity against Q fever.
UQ Gatton Medical Centre and UQ St Lucia Medical Centre run a Q fever screening and vaccination program for students at the start of each semester.
The program consists of two visits, that are one week apart, and need to be attended in order. You must attend both sessions in the program you choose to attend.
1st visit
Includes a consultation, detailed history, skin test, and blood tests performed.
Dates:
Tuesday 17th February, Thursday 19th February, and Friday 20th February 2026
Costs
Students: $110 (includes skin and blood tests)
Staff: $160 (includes skin and blood tests)
2nd visit
Occurs exactly 1 week later. Test results are read and Q fever vaccine is given if tests show no immunity to Q fever.
Dates:
Tuesday 24 February, Thursday 26 February, and Friday 27 February 2026
Costs
Students: $210 (includes vaccine); $60 (if no vaccine required)
Staff: $260 (includes vaccine); $90 (if no vaccine required)
ℹ️ Please note: If your results are indeterminate*, a further consultation & follow up consultation is required (includes retest-skin & blood test) Costs & options will be advised at the consult.
Further information to note before booking
If you have had proven Q Fever infection or Q Fever Screening or vaccination in the past, you cannot participate in this program. Please refer to your original vaccination provider or the Q Fever register if you registered with them previously. We may be able to assist with a consult outside the screening program if you are unsure. If you have done the first visit screening at another medical centre, you cannot attend your second consultation at UQ Gatton Medical Centre, and we ask that you please return to that clinic for completion of Q Fever screening.
Should you be immunocompromised due to a medical condition, medications or treatments, to prevent delays and avoid the cost of an additional consultation, we encourage you to:
- discuss with your treating Specialist whether it is suitable for you to undertake screening and immunisation for Q fever; and
- provide a letter from your treating Specialist, which will be taken into account by the General Practitioner to determine if you are suitable for screening and immunisation.
Further billing information
Q Fever consultations and vaccinations do not generally attract a Medicare or OSHC insurance rebate. For UQ employees, if applicable, please consult your department to advise us directly or provide a payment authorisation form for us to bill them directly.
