For your first appointment, please arrive 5 minutes earlier as you will be asked to complete a new patient form which includes information on our privacy and billing policy. Full payment is required on the day of consultation (no exceptions). Claims are sent to Medicare electronically on your behalf for reimbursement of the rebate. Our reception team will advise the fees upon making your appointment.
