Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during the free consultation?

We discuss any concerns you may be experiencing and arrange a face to face consultation. Finding the right person to support you is important, if I feel that there is someone who can be of more assistance I can provide a referral.

What can I do if I encounter breastfeeding challenges?

Some mothers- to- be may benefit from an antenatal consultation. They are often scheduled around 35 weeks gestation.

Some mothers like scheduling a home visit once they are home from hospital for a general check in and debrief from advice received and experiences in the hospital.

Most mothers contact me as needed when concerns arise.

Do I receive a rebate from Medicare or private health insurance?
Unfortunately consultations are not covered by Medicare although I do have a provider number for most private health insurers. The rebate amount will depend on your level of cover.
How long does a consultation last?

Duration of each consultation ranges from 1.5 to 2 hours and may be longer based on individual journeys.

Where are consultations held?

They can be in the comfort of your own home (scheduling and location permitted) or in my private rooms at Bondi Beach. Parking is available onsite.
