Medicare Rebates for Children

Paediatric dermatology services may be eligible for Medicare rebates if your child has a valid referral from a General Practitioner (GP) or another specialist.

What Does Medicare Cover?

If your child is referred to our dermatologists for a medically necessary condition, Medicare will partially or fully cover the consultation fee.

The rebate amount varies depending on the consultation type and whether the specialist is bulk-billed or privately billed.

If you are seeing a dermatologist under private billing, an out-of-pocket cost may apply after the Medicare rebate is processed.
