We are NOT a bulk billing clinic

ATO assessments for early compassionate release of superannuation for fertility treatment (45-60 minutes in length) are $800 with a Medicare rebate of $455.60 for the first appointment in 12 months.
Initial assessments for ongoing care (45-60 minutes in length) are $800 with a Medicare rebate of $262.10.
Subsequent appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes at a cost of $340 with a Medicare rebate of $134. For 60-minute appointments the fee is $600 and rebate of $184.90.

Payment is payable in full at the time of consultation via EFTPOS. Following a telehealth appointment, the receptionist will call you to take payment over the phone.
Early compassionate release of superannuation appointments
It is important to note that Dr Blenkin is not a financial advisor, and she strongly encourages you to seek independent legal, financial, taxation or other advice to check how the early access of superannuation may impact your circumstances now or in the future.
Medicare Safety Net
The Extended Medicare Safety Net means the government will provide a higher rebate (80%) for medical outpatient services once an individual or family’s out-of-pocket expenses have reached this threshold (the general threshold is $2615.50).
Medicare will automatically track your progress toward the benefit for individuals. However, to receive this benefit as a family, the family must be registered for the safety net each year.
