Frequently Asked Questions

What is mixed billing and how does it affect me?

Mixed billing means that while some patients may be eligible for bulk billing (where Medicare covers the full cost of the consultation), others may need to pay an out-of-pocket fee.
How this affects you depends on your Medicare eligibility, the type of consultation you require, and the doctor you see, and the treatment cost. To understand any potential fees for your appointment, please contact our clinic.

Can I walk in for an appointment, or do I need to book ahead?

While we strive to accommodate walk-in patients, we recommend booking an appointment in advance to ensure you receive timely care.
