our fees
PLEASE ASK US IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUR OUR FEES OR SERVICES
We are a private practice, with time-based standard consultation fees.
All fees must be paid at time of consultation. We accept cash, credit (American Express, Visa and Mastercard) and debit/EFTPOS cards.
There may be other fees that apply to particular types of consultations and procedures, for example consultations related to mental health issues, or minor surgical procedures. Please ask our team for more information.
PROLONGED CONSULTATION
30-60 minutes - $225-$415
For adults and children, cost varies with time taken at doctor's discretion. Please note a surcharge applies before 8:00 a.m. and on weekends.

Including pap smear and breast check. Extra pathology fees may apply. Please note a surcharge applies before 8:00 a.m. and on weekends.
Appointments prior to 8:00 a.m. and on weekends or public holidays attract a minimum $15.00 surcharge.
We offer home visits in urgent cases, for regular patients who are unable to attend the surgery. Fees start at $240.00 for locations within the Woollahra postcode, and will be higher for further travel distance.
Prescriptions and referrals generally require a consultation, but if the doctor consents to providing this without an appointment, please note that a $40.00 fee covers our time and administration costs for this service.
Patients that do not attend an appointment without providing 24 hours notice of cancellation will still be charged a standard consultation fee (no medicare rebate applicable).
Further appointments will not be able to be made until this fee is paid.
what about Medicare?
Medicare Australia provides a rebate for many medical consultation items, as a taxpayer-funded contribution towards the cost of your healthcare. Most Australian citizens and permanent residents qualify for this rebate, as well as visiting citizens from countries that have a reciprocal healthcare agreement with Australia.
In order to claim your rebate, you must bring your current Medicare card and your EFTPOS/debit card with you to the practice. We can approve the rebate for most consultation items on the spot, via our HICAPS terminal. The Medicare rebate is then deposited immediately into your cheque or savings account.
Some items and combinations of items are not able to be claimed via our HICAPS terminal, as they need to be verified by a Medicare agent prior to payment. In these cases, you will need to:
-
visit a Medicare office, or
-
complete a mail-in Medicare claim form, or
-
submit your own claim online via www.my.gov.au
For more information about Medicare, including current rebate amounts, please visit www.humanservices.gov.au

our COVID-19 response
Updated 18 March 2021
Pre-screening
for appointments
When you call us to make an appointment, we will ask if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms (high temperature, cough or breathing difficulties), even mild. This is so we can ensure appropriate separation and cleaning between patients.
This may mean less choice in appointment times and also an increase in our normally minimal wait time, but is necessary to minimise your health risks and those of our other patients.
Call 02 9328 7766 or email info@woollahradoctors.com to schedule a consultation.
Telehealth
consultations
If your medical need is something that can be readily diagnosed in a visual format (ie rashes, conjunctivitis, mild allergic reactions, baby feeding issues) then we can schedule a telemedicine consultation at a regular appointment time. Some patients may be eligible for a Medicare rebate for telemedicine.
Call 02 9328 7766 or email info@woollahradoctors.com to schedule a consultation.
