Health Insurance to be advised

Melbourne is recognised as one of the leading educational centres of Australia. Each year many international students move to study in Melbourne.

International students and visitors are required to have private travel insurance as access to Medicare benefits may be restricted.

From 1st of November 2023, at Alfred Road Medical Centre you are required to pay a gap on the day. Your heath insurance will pay partial of the Practice Fee and the patient will cover the cost of the outstanding amount.

Please see the price table: https://www.alfredroadmedicalcentre.com.au/pricing
