A deposit of $200 will be collected prior to scheduling a time for surgery under IV sedation.  This fee is not additional cost as it will be deducted from your total treatment cost.  Please note that the deposit of $200 will be charged as a cancellation fee if less than 48 hours notice is given for cancellation of your appointment.

Anaesthetic Fee

If you choose to have your surgery under a general anaesthetic you will also be under the care of a Specialist Anaesthetist. While we are unable to provide you with an exact quote for the anaesthetist fee we will be able to provide you with an estimate of the costs. It does vary depending on the time taken for the surgery as well as your private health insurance cover.

Hospital Fee

Insured patients’ hospital fee are usually charged according to the tier of coverage they have set up with their individual health fund. You will be able to obtain an estimate from the hospital once you know your surgical fee & item codes from the Surgeon.
Uninsured patients can expect to pay out of pocket expense for a private hospital stay.
