Result Discussion Appointments

These short appointments are bulk-billed. Please note we generally allow 5-6 minutes to provide with the necessary information and advice. Extended consultations will incur additional fees.

Telehealth appointments are only available for discussing results and reviewing treatments for those not able to return to the clinic.
The same applicable charges apply as per face-to-face appointments. See above for results discussion and topical cream treatment reviews.
Please note Telehealth appointments are not available on Saturdays.
