Regional families: The government has provided subsidies to make it easier for regional and country families to access good paediatric care. This makes online consultations less expensive than standard consultations. The specialists at Leading Steps all have slightly different billing arrangements. Please call 07 55649668 for a free quote.

Non regional families: Different billing rates depend on consultation and paediatrician. Standard medicare rebate applies. Please enquire about costs when making appointment. More telehealth consultations are available due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Online consultations are a service for families who might find it hard to access great paediatric care where they live, or because of the current COVID-19 pandemic.
