Fees
As a private billing practice that is committed to providing a
high standard of care, we cannot support the philosophy of Medicare
bulk billing. Dr White is committed to provide a practice that offers
extended service to all of the practice's patients.
The practice also operates on a 'pay on the day' principle. Accordingly,
this fee is heavily discounted.
In setting our fees, we take into account the time taken to thoroughly
assess what are often complex sporting injuries.

Appointments
Our practice operates on an appointment system. Our reception staff
will be able to discuss your requirements and offer the most suitable
appointment available.
Sports injuries can be complex and we provide a 1/2 hour initial
appointment for all sports medicine, second opinion, chronic back
pain and similar problems. We are not prepared to compromise the
service by overbooking. This sometimes means that there may be a
delay in getting an appointment.
We try very hard to stay on time and try to keep any delays to
a bare minimum. In return, we would be very grateful if patients
could arrive on time or a little early, so that patients appointmented
after you are not inconvenienced by avoidable delays.
Follow up appointments should be booked to follow up on results,
treatments, advice or discussion. Dr White's schedule does not allow
for telephone consultations.
We appreciate advance warning of your inability to attend for your
appointment. This allows us to use this appointment for people on
our cancellation waiting list.
All appointments are made by telephoning 08 97916999.
