Setting up a payment plan can be discussed during your visit. Our team will outline available providers, explain eligibility requirements, and guide you through the application process.
Once approved, repayments are managed directly with the chosen provider. Approval timeframes and conditions vary. Treatment can commence once provider approval and eligibility are confirmed.
Can I use my health fund and still set up a payment plan?
Yes, in many cases, you may be able to claim health fund benefits and then use a payment plan for remaining balances, subject to provider policies, approval, and eligibility requirements.
Our team can process your health fund claim during your appointment. Any remaining balance may be covered through an available payment option. Provider approval, eligibility criteria, fees, and terms apply.
How quickly can a payment plan be approved?
Approval times vary between providers. Some applications are processed online quickly, while others may take longer if additional checks or information are required. Approval is subject to provider eligibility criteria and terms.
In many cases, a plan may be confirmed during your appointment. The ability to begin treatment will depend on provider approval, eligibility requirements, and your individual circumstances.
Can I change the amount I pay each time?
Payment amounts are generally set when the plan is created. Some providers may allow adjustments, depending on your agreement and eligibility conditions.
If you need to update your repayment amount, you will usually need to contact the payment provider directly. Our clinic can guide you through this process if you require assistance.
What happens if I miss a repayment?
Most providers may charge late fees or reschedule the payment if a repayment is missed. The process depends on the provider’s policies.
It is important to contact the provider promptly if you anticipate difficulties. Many providers offer support or alternative arrangements to help patients remain on track with repayments.
Who can I speak to at the clinic about payments?
You can speak with our reception team or treatment coordinator. They can explain available options and guide you through the process of setting up a plan.
If you have questions about existing repayments, they can also assist by directing you to the appropriate provider, helping ensure you receive accurate information and support.
Will I need to go through a credit check?
Some payment providers may require a credit check to confirm eligibility, particularly for larger treatment costs or longer-term repayment plans.
Others, such as Afterpay or Fund My Dental, may not require this step. During your consultation, our team will explain which providers involve credit checks, so you can make an informed choice.
Are there any extra fees I should know about?

- Establishment fees – may apply when first setting up a payment plan.
