Nurse wound care
We will continue to subsidise the provision of some basic dressings, however, Federal Government rules mean that when we provide specialised dressings we must charge you an out-of-pocket expense to cover the cost of these (which are provided at wholesale price) as well as the service provided by our nurses and doctors. Alternatively, you can provide your own dressings in which case there will be no out-of-pocket expense. For our DVA covered patients we may be able to provide you with a prescription for some dressings.
| Out-of-pocket fee | Full fee |
|---|---|
| $20 + dressing cost | Determined by Medicare rebate |

Payment at the time of your consultation is required and can by made by cash, credit card or EFTPOS.
