Fees & Payment

Transparent information on consultation and surgical fees, Medicare rebates, and private health coverage.

Appointment fees

Our fees are set at a level which reflects the expertise and experience of a Gynaecological Oncologist, as well as the cost of running a private medical practice.

There are a range of fees depending on whether you are a new or returning patient. New patients are provided with an initial consultation fee estimate. 

Please note that if a procedure is required on the day (such as a colposcopy or biopsy) there may be an additional fee. 

For telehealth consultations we will call you for payment.

Private health insurance does not cover clinic appointments.

If you would prefer not to pay private consulting and treatment fees, please let your referring doctor know as they have the option of referring you to the public hospital gynaecological oncology clinic.

Payments are accepted by all credit and debit cards. Cash and personal cheques are also accepted.

Surgical Fees

Before any surgical procedures, you will be given written informed financial consent. This will indicate the Medicare item numbers that are relevant for your surgery. 

Generally, our fees are as recommended by the Australia Medical Association (AMA). Unlike the Medical Benefits Scheme (MBS), these rates are indexed to the Consumer Price Index and are more reflective of the cost of providing care. 

When you have hospital treatment as a private patient Medicare will pay 75% of the MBS fee and your private health insurer, providing you are covered for the item number, will pay 25%. The difference between the AMA fee and the MBS schedule is the amount you will be out of pocket for your operation.



We can submit your claim for surgery payment to Medicare and your private health insurer on your behalf. 

Our practice does not generally participate in no-gap or known-gap schemes as often advocated by health funds, because it would not allow us to run a viable practice. As you can see in the graph below a gap fee is an essential requirement to run a practice.
