We have reviewed our Billing Policy and due to increasing costs to run our practice and to continue to provide you with the best possible care, time and attention, we are introducing mixed billing for consultations for all doctors at the practice, 7 days a week.

This will be effective from 4 November 2019.

Only eligible patients will be bulk billed for Medicare Rebateable Services.  These patients include children 15 years and under, Health Care Card and Pension card holders, DVA card holders and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients.

Patients who do not fall into one of these categories will be charged a private fee as follows:

Your Medicare rebate can be processed by the practice.  You will need to pay the total fee upfront and then the rebate from Medicare will be refunded to you as per Medicare processing times into your bank account.  Our software allows for on the spot processing through Medicare and if you have an EFTPOS debit card, we can put the rebate in instantly.  Alternatively, if you have provided Medicare with your bank details, the rebate will be back in your bank account within 24 hours.  Please discuss with our reception team for more information.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Cosmetic Anti-Wrinkle Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. They work by relaxing the muscles that cause lines, and can be used to treat a variety of areas such as:

• Frown lines – between the eyebrows
• Crow’s feet – the corner of the eyes
• Forehead lines – horizontal lines between the brows & hairline

We use Dysport for Anti-Wrinkle injections.  Dysport, like Botox, is a form of botulinum toxin injected into the skin to temporarily relax the muscles.

Anti-wrinkle injections, depending on the dose and location, last a duration of 3-4 months.

Cost varies depending on the area being treated and how much product is needed.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections start from $240 for one standard area, $395 for two standard areas and $495 for three standard areas.  Extra units are $5 per unit + GST.

Dermal Fillers start from $210 + GST.

A FREE cosmetic assessment appointment is undertaken first to understand your goals and the best option to achieve those goals.  If anti-wrinkle injections are decided to be the best option, the doctor will advise you of the cost and how many units is required for your treatment.

A second appointment will be booked for your treatment at a time and date convenient to you.  All costs are payable on the day of treatment.  Medicare does not offer a rebate for cosmetic procedures.

You can book a FREE cosmetic assessment with Dr Leticia Figueiredo online or phone our receptionists for more information.

Private flu vaccines are $15 each and consult is bulk billed.
