How to make Appointments

An appointment is necessary and can be booked with our reception staff.  Please call (03) 5100 7722 between 9 am and 5 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. If your call is not answered, please leave your name and contact details, and our reception staff will contact you to arrange an appointment.  We can offer early appointments for new or changing spots- please advise our reception when you make your appointment.

No referral is required for an appointment with our doctor.

Fees

• The fee is either $120 (concession card holders $90) with a Medicare Rebate of $43.90 or $160 (concession card holders $130) with a Medicare Rebate of $84.90, depending on the length of the consultation.  We will lodge a claim with Medicare on your behalf immediately.  However, we lodge the claim online, and it can take up to 48 hours for the Medicare rebate to be paid into your account.

Any additional costs for procedures or treatments carried out during consultation, like biopsy or cryotherapy of more than 10 lesions, will be advised on the day. If a small procedure or treatment is required, this can often be done during the same consultation; however, more complex procedures may require a separate appointment.

If financial issues are a restriction for accessing this clinic, talk to our receptionist. You can still access skin cancer services, but the FotoFinder system will not be used.

We ask that patients who cannot make their appointment time ring (03) 5100 7722 to cancel and give at least 24 hours' notice.

Payment Method:

Payments can be made by EFTPOS, Cheque, Mastercard, or Visa.  We are unable to accept American Express Cards.

Transfer or Copy of Medical File:

Obtaining a copy of your complete medical file is not necessary. However, any skin-related medical history can be helpful in assessing your risk of skin cancer and developing an appropriate management program.
