Is it ok if I have my period on the day of consultation, especially if I am having a procedure?
It depends on the procedure, some are easier if you are menstruating others cannot be done if you are bleeding. Please call the rooms to check if you are not sure.
Does my private health insurance help with consultation fees?
No, your private health insurance helps with costs incurred with any hospital admissions. You may be eligible for the Medicare safety net which will help with hospital out of pocket expenses so please keep a record of all costs.
Can I pay by BPay or internet banking?
No, unfortunately we do not accept payment by BPay or internet banking but we do have credit card facilities. We accept both VISA or MasterCard but do not accept American Express or Diners.
