What does a consultation fee cover?
A consultation gives you time with the relevant practitioner to discuss your concerns, assess suitability and understand the proposed options.
The appointment may include a review of your medical history, examination of the relevant area, discussion of risks and limitations, and treatment planning.
The consultation fee pays for that assessment and advice. It does not automatically include treatment, although a specific fee-redemption arrangement may apply.
Surgical consultation costs
Specialist Plastic Surgeon consultation
The consultation fee is generally $300.
This includes your initial consultation and the second consultation before surgery. The second appointment gives you another opportunity to ask questions, review the proposed plan and discuss consent.
The surgical procedure itself is quoted separately.
Surgical cosmetic-proceduralist consultation
For a cosmetic proceduralist performing surgery, the consultation fee is approximately $180.
This also includes the initial and second surgical consultations. Your treatment quote will explain the procedure fee and its inclusions.
Confirm the appointment category and applicable fee when booking.
Non-surgical consultation costs
Cosmetic doctor consultation
A non-surgical cosmetic doctor consultation is generally $150.
The fee may be redeemable against treatment in some circumstances. Ask our team whether redemption applies to your appointment and what conditions are attached. Call 1300 852 050 or send an enquiry to Me Clinic.
Vein consultation
A vein consultation is $230.
A Medicare rebate may be available where the consultation meets the relevant requirements. Confirm eligibility and any separate investigation charges before your appointment.
Skin consultation
Skin appointment fees depend on the consultation and practitioner.
Contact Me Clinic to confirm the fee for your skin assessment and whether any redemption arrangement applies. Do not assume that every skin or cosmetic appointment uses the same fee. Call 1300 852 050 or send an enquiry to Me Clinic.
Follow-up appointments and included care
Planned follow-up and post-operative appointments are included in the treatment fee up to the usual number for your procedure.
These appointments allow your practitioner or nursing team to review healing, answer questions and assess progress. They are part of the agreed care pathway, rather than a new initial consultation.
Appointments beyond the usual schedule may attract an additional charge. Our team can explain the allowance and any applicable fee.
If you have a concern during recovery, contact the clinic promptly so the appropriate review can be arranged.
Fee redemption and possible rebates
Fee redemption means that an eligible consultation fee may be applied towards treatment under the relevant arrangement. It is not automatic for every practitioner or appointment.
Ask whether redemption applies, how it works and whether there are any conditions before booking.
A Medicare rebate is different. It depends on eligibility for the particular service and any relevant referral requirements. Having a referral does not guarantee that the full consultation fee will be covered.

Are post-operative appointments charged separately?
The planned appointments are included up to the usual number for your procedure. Additional appointments beyond that schedule may attract a fee.
Is my consultation fee deducted from treatment?
Sometimes, where a specific redemption arrangement applies. Confirm the terms for your appointment; it is not a universal inclusion.
