What is the cost?
We offer two options for appointments:
- Private Fee Paying clinic (shorter wait times) – Initial and any subsequent appointment will incur fees payable via Hot Doc.
- Bulk Billing Clinic (longer wait times)
Unfortunately if you do not hold a valid Medicare card we won’t be able to provide you a consultation.
There is no cost as all appointments are Medicare bulkbilled. Unfortunately, if you don’t have a valid Medicare card, we won’t be able to provide you a consultation.
What if I want a face to face appointment?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer face to face appointments at this time. However, Dr Janaka is happy for you to arrange a telehealth appointment during a consultation with your GP, if needed. By doing this Dr Janaka will be able to more thoroughly assess your child’s health through your doctor’s findings during the consultation and details from physical examination.
