Our Fees
IF YOU NO LONGER REQUIRE YOUR APPOINTMENT, WE PLEASE ASK YOU CONTACT OUR CLINIC TO CANCEL IT. APPOINTMENTS NOT CANCELLED WITHIN 2 HOURS OF YOUR BOOKING TIME ON ANY DAY, WILL ATTRACT A NON-ATTENDANCE FEE.
Doctors consulting at our clinic are independent contractors and control their own fees, however they are happy to base their fees on the below schedule.
Please understand that these fees may change from one doctor to another.
We are a mixed billing clinic.
Doctors will bulk bill pension and health care card holders and children under 16 only during set times as stipulated below.

Fees apply for all other patients and consulting times.
For more information, please contact our clinic.
Payment pre-authorisation will be required for ALL telephone consults and new patients. This includes those on a concession card and children.
