Your First Appointment

Thank you for choosing us as your care provider.

We recommend both partners to be present during your first consultation as far as possible.

On the day of your appointment, please arrive 10-minutes early to ensure we have enough time to prepare any outstanding paperwork.

Your First Appointment

We are mindful that your time is valuable and would like to avoid keeping you waiting. However, occasionally a patient may present that requires a little extra time spent on them, which may cause unforeseeable scheduling delays beyond our control. Where possible, we will advise you if we are running late. We apologise in advance if you are kept waiting.

During your first appointment, a thorough medical and diagnostic work-up may be required. If you have completed any tests (blood test results, ultrasound scans, MRI, etc), please bring these with you to your first appointment so that Dr Mane can thoroughly review them.

If you are coming in for a fertility consultation, we encourage you to attend with your partner (where applicable), and in such a case, both you and your partner need to be listed on the referral as per Medicare requirements.

  • Once you have secured an appointment time and date, you will be requested to complete our Online Patient Registration Form prior to your appointment so that you don’t have to complete it on the day.
  • If you prefer to complete your questionnaire on the day in person, then please arrive earlier to allow time for your paperwork to be completed.

Our receptionist would have sent you a History Form at the time of confirming your appointment. We request that you fill this in, in advance, so you can remember the details correctly.

This information is vital for your treatment. Dr Mane will then go through the full history again during your first consultation.

Dr Mane uses cloud-based software to keep all medical records. She is able to write you emails through this software and also able to send you pathology requests and scripts straight to your mobile phone.

You are requested to sign Dr mane’s Privacy and Consent form. Personal information collected by this practice, either written or through the consultative process, will be used exclusively to achieve optimal health care for you. Your signed consent is required to collect and share this information when required.

We happily offer telehealth consultations – even on weekends!

If you have booked a telehealth consult via our team, we will send you details of how to connect. If you do not receive these, please call us.

  • We are a private clinic and charge private-practices fees, except for Pensioners, who are bulk-billed.
  • Full payment is required on the day of your appointment for a visit in person. We then send the claim to Medicare on your behalf, and you will receive the Medicare rebate directly into your nominated bank account, usually within 2 business days.
  • Full upfront payment in advance is required for all Telehealth consultations. You may wish to pay at the time of booking, or we will contact you a week before your appointment to arrange.
  • Private health insurance does not cover consultation costs unless you are an inpatient in the hospital.

If you need to cancel an appointment, please telephone our clinic during business hours and allow at least 24 – 48 hours’ notice so that we can offer your appointment time to other patients that are eagerly waiting for a consultation. Same-day cancellations may attract a cancellation fee, which would need to be paid before further consultations are offered.

If you undergo surgery, the necessary post-operative appointments will be scheduled. These are important appointments to monitor your recovery progress and avoid complications.
