Fees vary depending on the service provided. For new patients, when you make your booking, we can give you an accurate estimate of the fees for your initial consultation.
Reduced fees are offered to all pensioners and healthcare card holders.
Payment is required at the time of service
For all extended services, particularly foot orthoses, and surgery, a written estimate will be provided, including the item number, so that you can check with your health funds for out-of-pocket expenses. We cannot give you accurate estimates for out-of-pocket expenses as private health rebates vary greatly; however, we will assist you in getting the correct information.
Time payments may also be offered by negotiation for extended services with significant out-of-pocket expenses such as surgery.
