Additional information
General information about fees
Most treatments are available in both the public and private systems but the costs can be very different. Also, a specialist can work in the public system, private system or both.
It is important to ask about fees before any doctors' visits, tests or treatments. Ask what the fees will be and how much you will get back from Medicare or your private health fund. You will have to pay any remaining costs (the gap payment).
Interpreting and translating services
Patients, their families and carers who do not speak English as a first language or who are Deaf have the right to free, confidential and professional interpreters when they use public health services.
Information for Aboriginal people
To speak to an Aboriginal Health Worker, contact the Redfern Aboriginal Medical Service or phone (02) 9319 5823.
Information on what to expect before, during and after cancer treatment is available in this guide, written for Aboriginal people.
