Whilst not every patient will be prescribed supplements at their intial consultation, you should allow for an additional amount on top of your consultation fee. Whilst each person is different its hard to give an exact figure. As guide, this could range from $80 to $250. **The amount will vary depending on your presenting condition.

Your Practitioner will discuss their recommendations on what they would like you to purchase during your consultation and any additional costs for supplements and or testing.

We understand that sometimes, not everyone is in a position financially to purchase some or all of the supplements suggested. You should discuss this with your Practitioner during your consultation.

No. Your Practitioner is best placed to decide if tests need to be undertaken. They need to assess and investigate presenting symptoms before deciding what if any appropriate testing may be required. Given the wide range of potential tests available, not to mention the cost of testing, there are many factors which need to be considered before tests are suggested for further investigation.

As such, Functional and Pathology testing is only available to patients as part of a Practitioner consultation.

If you are not currently a patient of the clinic, an initial consultation is a necessary prerequisite before any tests are ordered. At this consultation, we also request patients bring along with them any previous pathology or functional test results that they may have had in the past 12 months.

As part of a consultation, your Practitioner can order general pathology tests, depending on your presenting symptoms.

All pathology tests ordered through the clinic are Non Medicare (fee for service) and the patient will need to pay for the tests themselves.

No. It is your responsibility to obtain copies of these prior to your consultation. If you don't have a copy of your recent pathology results, you need to ask your GP for a copy of these to bring along to your consultation, or you can email them to us prior.

No. We do not have HICAP facilities at our clinic.

We will provide you with a Tax Invoice on the day of your consultation which contains our provider number.

Due to a change in Government Policy as of 1 April 2019, most natural therapies will be excluded from private health insurance rebates. For more information, please contact your health insurance provider.
