OUR FEES
At Shire Optometrists
We are very conscious of delivering excellent and comprehensive EyeCare + EyeWear to our community at a fair and reasonable cost.
Our Optometrists, Optical Dispensers and support Staff are all experienced, qualified and accredited (including therapeutically endorsed Optometrists) to assist you to manage your EyeCare.
We engage ‘state of the art’ eye examination instrumentation and devices at each practice with some specialised equipment and clinics at individual locations such as our DryEye Clinic at Gymea and our Performance EyeWear clinic at Cronulla.
Each practice is conveniently located with plenty of parking nearby and we are open 6 days for over 50 hours per week.
All initial & follow up examinations are bulk billed for Australian citizens registered with Medicare.
Conservative private fees may be charged for any additional or specific tests, procedures or conditions outside of the scope of Medicare. These fees are to cover the additional costs for equipment, professional staff time and complexity of treatment or testing, and may be necessary to ensure you receive the best EyeCare and diagnosis available.
Our staff or Optometrist will advise you of any extra fees prior to commencement.
Health Funds we work with
At Shire Optometrists, we accept all Australian health funds.
Experience hassle-free transactions with our on-the-spot claim processing for most health funds, ensuring you walk away with glasses that match your style and vision needs perfectly.
You have the flexibility to utilise your health insurance optical extras benefits throughout the year, however it’s important to bear in mind that many health funds do not carry over unused benefits upon insurance renewal. The amount you’re eligible to claim varies based on factors like your health fund, coverage level, waiting periods, and past claims.
Reach out to our friendly staff who can offer help in determining the benefits you have and what you can claim, or contact your health fund for details.
