Patients can use private health insurance for admission. We welcome TAC, WorkCover, and self-funded patients with the right approvals.

When scheduling an appointment, patients will be asked to provide:
- Full name & date of birth
- Address & contact number
- Medicare number
- Pension, health care card, or DVA details (if applicable)
- WorkCover or TAC details (if applicable)
- Next of kin details
This information lets our team contact your health fund. We will confirm your cover and any excess or co-payment.
How do I prepare for a procedure?
All patients admitted to our Day Procedure Centre complete a pre-admission process with our nursing team.
They meet a radiologist on arrival. If needed, a nurse will contact you before your procedure.
They will discuss your medical history and medications. They will explain any special steps needed. This helps ensure a safe admission and discharge.
A pre-admission nurse will contact patients receiving sedation to review fasting requirements and medication management.
Under the Victorian Health Services Act, every patient must:
- Have a responsible adult collect them after the procedure.
- Have a designated carer who can stay with them and monitor their recovery .
What do I need to bring?
To ensure your appointment runs smoothly, please bring:
- Any previous medical imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound).
- A complete list of current medications, including doses and any over-the-counter or herbal supplements.
- Your referral from your doctor or healthcare provider.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing for ease during your procedure.
