We have contracts with the majority of private health insurance funds. Before admission, we will verify your health fund details.
If your private health insurance does not fully cover your stay, we will let you know your estimated out-of-pocket expenses. You will need to pay this before admission. We accept all credit cards for payment of accounts and also offer Afterpay.
You are not required to pay the portion of your account covered by your private health fund. We will claim those benefits on your behalf. As part of our policy on informed financial consent, we will give you an estimate of your expenses and a form to sign.
