Invoice and Receipt

For all consultations and procedures, we will provide an invoice and receipt to enable you to claim Medicare and private health insurance rebates where applicable.

Please note that these costs are subject to Medicare and private health fund rebates.

Workcover, TAC, and DVA Patients

  • If you have Workcover approval, TAC approval, or a DVA Gold Card or DVA White Card with specific approval for the consultation, there are no out-of-pocket fees ($0) for the consultation.

  • Please ensure that all necessary approvals are submitted before your appointment to avoid unexpected charges.

Cancellation Policy

We understand that schedules can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made without sufficient notice will incur a fee of AUD $50.
