We would like to inform you that as of 3rd June 2024, our practice will be implementing a fee increase for our dermatology services. This decision was not made lightly and was taken after careful consideration of the rising costs of providing high-quality care to our patients.
As you may know, medical costs are constantly on the rise, and this includes the cost of supplies, equipment, and staff salaries. We strive to provide the best possible care to our patients and in order to continue doing so, it has become necessary to adjust our fees.
New Standard and Non-Medicare Account Fees
- $295.00* - Initial consultation in a single course of treatment (MBS Item 104).
- $195.00* - Subsequent consultation in a single course of treatment (MBS Item 105).

* Initial and subsequent consultation items (MBS Item 104 and 105) will not increase to new fees until 1 July 2024.
We understand that any increase in cost can be difficult, and we want to assure you that we are committed to providing affordable and accessible care to all of our patients. We will continue to work with Medicare Australia to provide rebate access options to make the process as smooth as possible.
