Prepare Your Practice for the Card Surcharge Ban

The rules around payment surcharging are changing, and for medical practices, this could have a significant impact on how you manage payments and maintain profitability.

From 1 October 2026, businesses across Australia will no longer be allowed to add surcharges to payments made via major card networks. While this simplifies things for patients making payments, it raises a critical question for practices: how do we absorb these costs without impacting bottom-line performance?

At GrowthMD, we’ve heard these questions from practices just like yours:

• How will the surcharge ban affect our profitability?

• What changes do we need to make to handle this effectively?

• What are the best solutions for our unique payment setup?

To help you navigate this shift confidently, we’ve put together a comprehensive merchant surcharge ban guide including a checklist that breaks down everything you need to know.
