Ethical Practice Statement
Appointment books for all doctors are closed from 20 August 2025 with no capacity to accept any new patient referrals due to limited appointment availability with any Paediatrician for over 12 months. Referrals will now be returned to the referring Dr without triage.
APPOINTMENT WAITLIST: For those with bookings later in the year or accepted referral without a booking confirmed as yet, please return your Patient Registration form asap to go on the appointment waitlist. For families wishing to be seen more urgently, please advise the admin team you wish to be notified for an earlier appointment if we have a cancellation spot become available.
Coastal Developmental Paediatrics is a private clinic and does not offer bulk-billing services. Drs consultation fees are set individually and have increased in line with Medicare rebate increases as of 1 July 2025.
Further details can be provided if you request a quote for your child's Paediatrician's consultation fees from the administration team.
New patients will be provided an estimate of fees for consultations when booking appointments. Telehealth appointments are charged also at the same rate, per the time your doctor spends providing care and there are medicare rebates available for the different forms of telehealth (different rebates for videoconference appointments vs telephone consults), provided that the medicare item requirements are fulfilled. Please note our appointment cancellation policies and fees charged for late cancellations.
