Mental Health Care Plans are privately billed (some exceptions to apply, please discuss with your doctor).
Other fees: A list of fees is available from reception.
We charge for missed appointments. To ensure all our patients are seen when needed, if you can’t attend your appointment as booked, we require at least 24 business hours’ notice so the appointment can be given to someone else. This will avoid you being sent a Missed Appointment Fee.
