Our Fees

Our standard consultation fee is $300.

This is inclusive of all necessary onsite, ophthalmic scans and imaging.

If you have Medicare, there is a Medicare rebate of $86.15 on the consultation fee with a current referral from your Optometrist or GP. We process this for you when you pay.

Please note that private health insurance does not cover your in-clinic consultation fees. Patients without Medicare will be required to pay for scans and imaging.

Patients with eye conditions requiring ongoing review will be charged at a lower rate for subsequent consultations.

Your health insurance will cover the intraocular lens (your new lens), hospital operating theatre and anaesthetist’s fees. You may have an excess on your hospital stay policy – please check with your insurer.

There is no “better” or "best" intraocular lens for your refractive cataract surgery. The surgeon will select the most suitable lens based upon a comprehensive assessment of your eye health, as well as your lifestyle visual requirements.

Your cataract surgery fee is directly billed to your health fund. We do this for you.
