Cold and flu symptoms?
If you have ANY respiratory symptoms at all (this includes sore ears, sinus congestion, fever, slight runny nose, "daycare coughs" in kids etc), you must have received a negative swab result before we can see you in person. Let's do our best to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Like a good coffee, our appointments come in singles or doubles.
(SINGLE 15 MINUTES & DOUBLE 30 MINUTES)
If you are unsure how long you need, asking reception on booking would be advisable. By taking the time to consider how long you book, you will help ensure we do a better job of running on time 🙂
Our general fees enables us to provide quality care for you.
In order to be able to offer you the time and quality of care that you deserve, we are primarily a private billing clinic. A gap is the amount out of pocket after receiving your rebate back from medicare. Our gap remains the same regardless of the time taken for your appointment.
Certain special services attract different fees, to reflect complexity or equipment needed for these services. Please see below for details.
If you require clarification of your costs of your appointment, please request when booking at reception or via our webform.
