DNA/Cancellation Fee

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may require the cancellation of an appointment.  In such instances, we kindly request that scheduled appointments be cancelled with a minimum of 2 hours’ notice.  This ensures that our medical practitioners can effectively cater to your and other patients’ needs. 

It is crucial that you notify us of your cancellation to avoid the $30 Cancellation Fee which will be required to be settled before booking any subsequent appointments. 

PROCEDURES

  • Initial Consultations:  Ensure you’ve had an initial consultation with your doctor to discuss the procedure and its associated fees.
  • Treatment Room (TR) Fee:  Various procedures may incur a Treatment Room Fee.  This fee covers nursing support and consumables.

Payment Options and Rebate

We accept cash, credit cards, and debit cards for your consultation fee.

Please note that there is a small surcharge for credit and debit card transactions. This surcharge covers the fees we incur when processing these payments. We are committed to only charging the amount it costs us, following regulations set by the RBA.

After your appointment, we can help you claim your rebate. There are two options:

  1. Instant Rebate (Debit Card Only): We can process your rebate claim directly through our Tyro terminal using your debit card. Credit cards are not accepted for this method.
  2. Online Rebate Submission: We can submit your rebate claim electronically to Medicare for online assessment. This typically leads to a deposit in your Medicare-linked bank account within 48 hours.

Important Note: Rebates may not be available for immediate processing for certain less common procedures or appointments.
