Queensland Eye & Retina Specialists is a private clinic, our consultation fees are based on the Australian Medical Association (AMA) rate.  When you are referred to an ophthalmologist, you are seeking an opinion or treatment from a doctor who is an expert in that specific area of medicine. Doctors within our clinic are further subspecialised as each have attained further fellowship qualification.

At the point of booking, our friendly receptionist would assist you in booking an appropriate time frame and inform your expected fee based on the condition that you are referred for and the doctor that you need to see.  The fee is inclusive of the likely scans and imaging required for the doctor to make a thorough examination.  Sometimes the condition you are referred for can be different to the diagnoses and further tests may be required, these may attract further fee.  We will inform you if this is the case.

Within hours of your booking, you will receive an email confirmation outlining the expected fee, and the standard Medicare rebate that you may receive.  Rebates can differ depending on your safety net threshold status and if the service has previously been claimed elsewhere. 

Queensland Eye & Retina Specialists offers a state of the art facility, our fee reflects the cost of precision ophthalmic equipment, our experienced and specialised ophthalmic team and expert interpretation of these results. It is for this reason that we cannot offer bulk billing.  Like all other doctor’s clinic, private health funds do not provide rebates, unless your treatment needs to take place at a private hospital.
