We are equipped to perform minor surgery. anything that requires further investigating will be referred to the relevant specialists.
Minor procedures may result in an out-of-pocket cost for the patient even those with a health care card.
There may also be a cost which Pathology will allocate for the investigation into the sample which will have been removed. this cost is fully reimbursed by Medicare.

Our equipment is either disposable or sterilised by autoclaving to the required standards.
