Workers Compensation
You will be required to pay for your initial Workcover consultation and claim reimbursement from your employer. When the Insurance Provider has accepted liability and given you a claim number, we can then forward accounts to the Insurer.
Longer appointments are available if you have multiple issues or a complex issue to discuss
Procedure Fees
Please note all procedures require an initial consultation with your doctor to discuss complexity, cost and duration of your procedure.
All procedures attract a private fee regardless of your age or concession. Your doctor will inform you of which fee applies prior to your procedure appointment.

Gap fee $150
Nurse Fees
A $10-$20 private fee will apply to all appointments in our Nurse's treatment room where a doctor is not required to be called down, as well as triage phone consultations with our nurse.
This fee covers the cost of consumable items, the use of the treatment room, instruments, sterilisation costs and our nurse's expertise and time.
There is no Medicare rebate for the Nurse fee.
Payment Options
Payment will be collected after each visit, either in person, over the phone or through Hotdoc our secure online platform.
If you book online your credit card details will be stored and money will be debited after your consultation. If you book over the phone a secure link will be sent via sms. (Please note, fees stated through Hotdoc are an estimate only and a processing fee applies to all Hotdoc payments.) The Medicare rebate will be processed on your behalf after payment has been received via any method.
Please note, from Wednesday the 18th of May 2022 the practice will be introducing a surcharge on all card transactions in the surgery.
