Your First Visit

We allow 30 minutes for a new patient consultation and 15 minutes for a review or post-op. You must have a current referral, even for your post-op appointment. Referrals from specialists are current for 3 months, and from GPs are current for 12 months, although an “Indefinite Referral” may be obtained from your GP and this will cover your total course of treatment. We recommend this for patients who will be requiring ongoing review for a number of years.

There may be a charge for your post-op appointment, as Medicare does not routinely include aftercare for all operations and procedures.

Payment for your consultation is required at the time of your appointment. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Eftpos or Cash.

DVA patients will have their accounts sent directly to Department of Veteran’s Affairs.

WorkCover patients must have written approval prior to their consultation and be able to supply us with their WorkCover reference number. If these are not available, you will be required pay for your consultation and then claim from WorkCover. Any surgery offered will be subject to written approval by WorkCover. These same guidelines apply to those employers who participate in their own workers’ compensation scheme.
