Fees, Rebates and Out-of-Pocket Costs

We understand that cost is an important consideration when choosing private care. At POGS, we aim to keep fees transparent, affordable, and as accessible as possible—without compromising the quality of care you receive.


Obstetric Fees (before Medicare rebates)

Your pregnancy care at POGS includes:

  • Initial pregnancy consultation (midwife + specialist): $300
  • Subsequent antenatal visits: $130
  • Pregnancy Management Fee (due around 28 weeks): $3,500

These fees are before Medicare rebates. Patients who are eligible for Medicare and have private health insurance with obstetric cover will generally have total out-of-pocket costs under $3,500 for pregnancy, delivery and aftercare (see “Additional costs” below for common exclusions).


What’s included in our obstetric care

  • Continuity of care with your chosen specialist throughout pregnancy
  • Specialist-led care in collaboration with experienced midwives
  • An in-room ultrasound at every specialist appointment
  • Postnatal visits (up to 6 weeks after birth) at no additional charge
  • Breastfeeding support and emotional support via our midwives
  • Contraceptive advice and services after birth
  • Coordination with hospital services, your GP, and (when needed) other specialists

Care delivered at St John of God Subiaco Private Hospital (if your preferred doctor is unavailable, another POGS obstetrician—whom you have the option to meet—will provide your care)

Gynaecology Fees (before Medicare rebates)

  • Initial consultation: $350
  • Follow-up consultation: $220

Our specialists do not bulk bill for outpatient gynaecology appointments. However, we are:

  • No-gap providers with HBF
  • Known-gap providers with most other funds (maximum surgical gap: $500)

Medicare rebates, referrals and the Safety Net

Medicare rebates apply to eligible consultations. Some patients may also receive additional rebates through the Medicare Safety Net, which can reduce out-of-pocket costs further.

Please note:

  • Rebate amounts vary depending on your Medicare status, your year-to-date out-of-pocket spend, and your private health insurance cover. While we can provide general guidance, exact rebate amounts are difficult to predict.
  • A valid referral is required to claim a Medicare rebate.
  • Referrals from a GP or Nurse Practitioner are typically valid for 12 months.
  • Referrals from a Specialist are typically valid for 3 months.


Additional costs to be aware of

The figures above are for POGS consultation fees and (for obstetrics) the pregnancy management fee. Other costs may apply, including:

  • Hospital excess or co-payments (varies by fund and level of cover)
  • Blood tests and other pathology (billed by the pathology provider)
  • Some ultrasounds or imaging ordered outside your consultation (for example, formal imaging-provider scans)
  • Fees charged by other doctors involved in your care, such as anaesthetists and paediatricians (where applicable)
