Our

Fees & Insurance

For those with private health insurance (and a Medicare card)

Some of our specialists participate in the ‘Gap Cover’ scheme which typically means that there is no additional out of pocket cost to you.

It is important to check if you are covered by your health fund for the ‘Gap Cover Scheme’ as some newer budget health fund agreements have restricted cover to the Medicare Benefits Schedule fee, and do not cover patients up to the Gap Cover scheme. 

We wish to inform our valued patients that, effective 1 July 2025, all consultation fees will increase by $25. This adjustment helps us continue providing high-quality care and services. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and ongoing support.
