We believe in transparency when it comes to fees so that you can easily plan for your child’s healthcare. We are a privately billing clinic and do not offer bulk-billing appointments. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care for your child and family.​​

Payment Information

 

We do not accept cash. All payments must be made via credit card or EFTPOS, and full payment is expected on the day of the consultation.​ For Medicare rebates to be applied, your child must attend their appointment. Please be aware that if there is sensitive information you wish to discuss during the appointment, we recommend bringing a support person for your child to allow for private discussions with the doctor.

Fee Schedule

Our fees for paediatric appointments are outlined below. The Medicare rebate is processed on the same day of the appointment. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any additional information regarding fees or to discuss your specific needs.

Important notes

​

• Medicare rebates: The Medicare rebate is processed on the day of the appointment, and you will be reimbursed directly by Medicare. We electronically transmit claims for Medicare benefits to Medicare Australia on your behalf. Your child must attend all scheduled appointments to be eligible for the Medicare rebate.

• Out-of-pocket costs refer to the difference between the private fee and the Medicare rebate. Some Medicare item numbers can only be claimed once within a specific time period (e.g., Item 132 can be claimed once per 12 months). Please ensure you are aware of any limitations when making appointments.

• Telehealth appointments: Fees apply to both in-person and telehealth consultations. Initial assessment must be conducted face to face. Please check with Dr Alyce and with the clinic for telehealth availability.

• Private health insurance: Private health insurance does not cover consultations with GPs or paediatricians.

• Prescription requests: A $30 fee applies for requests for prescriptions outside of a scheduled appointment. Please note that this is not covered by Medicare.

What to do if you or your child become unwell prior to the appointment

 

We understand that children can become unwell unexpectedly. If you or your child are feeling unwell prior to your scheduled appointment, we ask that you please contact us as soon as possible to discuss alternative options such as Telehealth. We ask that any child or parent showing symptoms of contagious illnesses (such as cold, flu, COVID-19, etc.) stay home and attend via Telehealth if possible. This helps us to ensure the health and safety of all our patients and staff.

Cancellation and non-attendance policy
 

If you are unable to attend your appointment, we kindly ask that you provide 2 business days notice to avoid incurring a cancellation fee. Cancellations made less than 2 business days prior will incur a  cancellation fee, up to the full cost of the consultation.
