Sage Medical Consulting acknowledges Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past and present.
Fees
As a group, we have a focus on quality care and as a result we have had to adjust our fees to match the work we put in, often behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, as many are aware, Medicare rebates (the amount the government pays for visits, procedures, etc) have not kept up with the times. The costs for our insurances, wages for admin staff, equipment, and everything in between continue to rise but Medicare very rarely does. It certainly never rises in line with the cost of living.
We have had to make a choice of either reducing our quality or introduce a fee for our services – unsurprisingly, we have chosen to keep the quality. We believe that the money you spend with us is a long term investment in your health, can ultimately save you money and give you piece of mind.

We are happy to discuss our fees and the logic behind them with you - feel free to ask!

Consultation fees depend on complexity and time. We aim to optimise how much you get refunded back by Medicare but that amount is ultimately up to Medicare and their discretion. This is a snapshot of our fees - talk to us to get a more tailored quote for your situation.
Initial Consults usually take longer as we are getting to know you.
