A gap fee will apply for procedures such as skin biopsy, cosmetic procedures, skin cancer surgery and other skin treatments. Private health insurance is not required.
Please note that if a procedure is deemed purely cosmetic, Medicare does not allow any payment and so a private account will be issued.
Histological assessment is routinely performed via Clinipath pathology on all tissue samples, this service is bulk billed for eligible health care card holders.
We routinely discuss, explain, and give a copy of the histology report to all patients. We will communicate with your regular GP or other specialists if required.

Thus, most patient can drive to and from the clinic on the day of the procedure without requiring an extra driver. General anaesthesia is not available at our clinic, thus patient with specific requirements can be referred if warranted.
