Rebates

Fee assistance is available from various sources, and may or may not involve a gap fee, depending on the nature of the funding and the service provided.  Please see details below and contact me if you would like further information.

Medicare:

NB: rebates are higher if you have reached the Medicare safety net threshold; If you’re part of a family or couple, you can register as a family to combine your costs, and will likely reach the threshold sooner. You can check your threshold amount at any time through either your MyGov/Medicare online account or app.
