Appointment Info & Fees
Dr Miranda Bradley provides extended, non-rushed consultations - typically 45 to 90 minutes - designed to offer holistic, personalised care for women, infants, and families. These longer appointments allow time to explore multiple concerns in a single session, whether they are physical, emotional, reproductive, infant-related, or feeding challenges.
Think of it as a one-stop medical consultation that can help avoid the stress and time involved in seeing multiple providers. Dr Miranda can manage a wide range of women’s and infant health issues in one place, including physical & mental health assessments, lactation support, investigations, treatment, prescriptions, and referrals.

Understanding Medicare Rebates & the Importance of the Medicare Safety Net
Medicare rebates apply to most consultations, including combined mum and baby postnatal appointments and lactation consultations, where each patient receives a separate rebate.
If you and your family are registered for the Medicare Safety Nets and have crossed the Extended Safety Net Threshold you may be eligible to receive up to 85% of your total consultation fee back.
The Extended Medicare Safety Net helps reduce your out-of-pocket costs once your family’s medical expenses exceed a certain threshold in a calendar year.
💡 Tip: Many families receiving fertility or private obstetric care cross the Safety Net threshold during the year. Register all members in your family ASAP to ensure you receive the maximum rebate.
Example: A combined mother and baby lactation or postnatal consultation lasting 90 minutes is billed at $590. If you've crossed the Safety Net threshold, your Medicare rebate could be $528.16, leaving you with an out-of-pocket cost of just $56.16.
(Rebates may vary based on your individual circumstances and consultation duration.)
✅ Check your status: Log in to MyGov → Medicare to track your Safety Net spending
