A minimum charge of $22 ($8 for CSC* or $0 for U14) applies for any messages requiring a clinical decision.
If significant consideration or a report/referral are required, a charge of $40 ($13-$190.50 for CSC* or $0 for U14) will apply. This is at the discretion of the GP/NP.
The charges apply even if responding to a message from your GP/NP and repeat messages may incur additional charges. By default, charges don’t apply if the message is directly related to a recent consultation (within a week), however charges may still apply if significant additional work is required.
Our team will be in touch if your message would be better served by an appointment, either phone or in-person.
Minor Surgeries are surgical procedures that can be completed in clinic using local anaesthesia and therefore don't require a visit to hospital. These are surgeries that many of our doctors are trained to perform but are only funded if performed by hospital surgeons. We offer these services where we can do them instead in order to allow patients to avoid having to wait for an appointment in the hospital as we can nearly always do it much more quickly and with less administration. Our staff with always provide you with all of the options for care so that you can make an informed decision.
Because these surgeries are only funded in the hospital, any surgeries we perform have no government funding and so are charged at an unfunded rate as below.
These costs include the practitioner's time, including their skill and experience with performing these surgery. It also covers any surgical assistance required, any consumable items used during the surgery, the management of any equipment used during the surgery, and any documentation associated with the surgery (such as testing of samples and related communication).
The following costs apply to any follow-up care not covered by ACC:
