Frequently asked questions

Please note that we are a private billing medical practice. For GP appointments, children under 18 are bulk billed.

Each specialist sets their own fees. For more information regarding this, we recommend to phone the clinic directly.

A practice fee is a separate charge that covers the medical equipment, consumables, and clinic resources needed to provide certain procedures or treatments.

Examples include:

• Holter monitor fitting and equipment use

• Automatic blood pressure fitting and equipment use

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma) kits

• Sterile supplies, disposables, and specialised devices

Medicare rebates generally only apply to the doctor’s consultation or procedure itself, rather than the equipment, consumable products, or materials used during treatment. As such, an out-of-pocket cost will apply.

We aim to inform patients of any out-of-pocket costs before treatment whenever possible.

Skin checks are completed by Dr Atul Jawale, using cutting-edge skin visualisation technology.

Please note that Dr Atul will not proceed with doing a biopsy or excision before first performing a skin check.

Where a skin lesion or tissue sample is removed, it will be sent directly to pathology for testing. Once the pathology results are received, you will be contacted for payment. This fee is fully claimable through Medicare.
