Fees
Payment in full is required at the time of the appointment and can be made via cash, debit/credit card, or mobile payment. As a courtesy service, Medicare rebates and some private health fund rebates can usually be processed on the spot via EFTPOS directly back into the client’s bank account. While every effort is made to assist with rebate processing, responsibility for ensuring rebate eligibility and successful processing ultimately rests with the client.
