Other arrangements can be discussed with your Doctor.

WorkCover and T.A.C patients must provide correct details of the organisation accepting liability for payment of services including their employer, insurance company and claim number before treatment is undertaken.

You will be given your account after your consultation at which time settlement would be appreciated. Mastercard and VISA credit facilities are available.

The terms of the contract are settlement of all consultation accounts on the same day and surgical accounts at least one week prior to surgery.
