Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your initial consultation.

  • A list of medication you are currently taking – this is very important for treatment planning and if appropriate you may be asked to see one of our consulting Anaesthetists.

FAQs

Some of the common questions we get regarding appointments.

Most clinical conditions require you to attend an appointment to discuss any treatment needs prior to any actual surgery being performed.

If you are suitable for Same Day Surgery, we will contact you to arrange an appointment where a surgical procedure can be performed on the same day as an initial consultation. You will receive a financial estimate for all fees prior to your appointment date.

Every clinical case is different, and part of your initial consultation will be focussed on providing an accurate fee estimate for you to be aware in advance of financial obligations.

Initial consultation fees for most clinical cases start at $195 and this attracts a Medicare rebate.

More complex surgical needs requiring extended consultation may have a higher consultation fee.
