NO REFERRAL NECESSARY
Potential Costs Disclosure:
As a guide of time that you may need to allocate for an appointment: Initial consultations typically require around 30 minutes, whether by Personal Visit or ZOOM ONLINE VIDEO. REVIEW follow-up consultations are ordinarily scheduled for a lesser time duration.
During your Initial consultation the Practitioner will discuss with you the anticipated duration of treatment to attain a satisfactory level of resolution.
Ordinarily, with long-term, chronic, genetic, auto-immune skin conditions the Initial Treatment Phase spans 6-12 weeks, but many condition symptom breakouts often resolve satisfactorily in just a few weeks – these periods may not be typical for all conditions and all patients.
The practitioner will recommend some naturally-based oral medicines and topical products necessary for your initial treatment period and will provide you with an in-house prescription for those medicines.
That prescription will be reviewed and may be adjusted at each subsequent consultation as you move through the process, thus ensuring that you receive the most appropriate treatment as you move through the treatment period.
While many conditions clear up very quickly during the treatment phase, long-term, chronic, genetic, auto-immune skin conditions require continuing maintenance, such as medicines and perpetual dietary modifications, to lessen the potential in the future for the condition to re-activate.
During that ‘maintenance phase’ patients may only need to see a practitioner at six-monthly intervals. During that interval, patients may be re-supplied with products and medicines as prescribed for them.
Our Current Fees & Costs (per patient per visit) are:
CONSULTATIONS: (GST FREE)
Initial – Personal Visit – allow around 30 minutes – $115

Extended Review – 20-30 minutes (up to 12 months ) – $85
Reactivated Review – allow 30 minutes (Over 12 months) – $115
The costs stated above apply equally whether the appointment is a Personal Visit or a ZOOM or PHONE Consultation appointment. NOTE: PHONE consultations not available for Initial appointments
(For consultations via Zoom or Phone, the Consultation Time Period does not include the additional time that the practitioner requires to calculate medicine dosages and write a Current Prescription. That additional time is included in the stated fee)
Variable Consultation – There are occasions where an appointment extends significantly past the time allocated for that patient on that occasion. At times these extensions are unavoidable………..
However, at other times if patients are late or there are disruptions to the consultation due to issues relating to: the presence of children, mobile phone calls, indecision or other reasons which are deemed non-conducive to the best use of the limited time allocated to that patient on that occasion, then the practitioner may determine it necessary to increase the fee for that appointment on an ad hoc basis. Maximum fee $135
Our Consultation Fees are already discounted for everyone and so normally no further discounts are available for seniors/pensioners.
There is NO MEDICARE involvement
Medicine and topical products (Creams, Gels, conditioning oils etc) are ancillary and therefore are an additional cost to the consultation fees.
Medicine and topical product costs on the Initial visit may be around $130-$160+, but please note that those costs may vary quite considerably between patients as each may require different amounts over varying time periods due to skin condition severity, body coverage extent and variations in chronicity.
In other words, if it has taken a long time to develop a chronic condition, it is not going to clear in a matter of days.
Medicine costs and topical product costs on subsequent review appointments will once again vary significantly as above
