Referrals and fees
Private patients
You do not need a referral from your GP to see a podiatrist as a private patient. We have HICAPS facilities to claim directly from your insurer. Depending on your level of cover, you may need to pay a small gap payment. Refer to the table below for more details of costs.
Medicare referrals
As of July 2024 we no longer offer bulk billed appointments. If you have a Medicare referral under the Chronic Disease Management Programme/Enhanced Primary Care (sometimes called EPC), you will need to pay upfrong and medicare will refung part of the cost of your appointment or procedure. Refer to the table below for more details of costs.
NDIS Patients
We happily accept NDIS referrals. If you have plan-managed funding we will invoice your plan manager directly. If you are a self-managed recipient you will need to pay at our reception and claim reimbursement. Refer to the table below for more details of costs.
