Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.
We ask that you obtain a referral from either your local general practitioner or a referring specialist.
Without a referral, you will not receive any Medicare rebate from your appointment. This applies for Surgery as well, whether from Medicare or your Health Fund.- General Practitioner referrals are valid for 12 months.
- Specialist referrals are valid for 3 months.
- Physio and Podiatry referrals are not valid for a Medicare rebate. -
The fee for your initial consultation is $275 for a standard 30-minute appointment. If your first visit involves multiple medical, complex or second opinion the fee will be $350.
Follow-up appointments are $150, and all consultations are claimable with Medicare afterwards. -
Where appropriate, we can provide an X-ray referral prior to your appointment.
Additional imaging is not arranged at the patient’s request.
The type and timing of imaging needs to be clinically appropriate for your symptoms during your initial appointment with Dr Richard Hanly. -
We can book you into our acute injury clinic pathway.
Ian Ross, who works alongside Dr Hanly, formed the Acute Injury Clinic (AIC) in 2022, which serves as a streamlined pathway for ambulatory trauma cases to receive rapid access to specialist assessment and management.
More information on the AIC is available via our
patient information tab. -
Our clinic welcomes uninsured patients so you can still access high quality private orthopaedic care.
We understand that not everyone has private health insurance, and our team is happy to chat through the fees and costs involved with you before your appointment or surgery. -
Please note that Dr Hanly is no longer accepting new WorkCover claims.
If you require care under WorkCover, our team can email you a list of specialists who currently see WorkCover patients.
