Consultation Types

  • The initial consultation is for new patients and gives your practitioner time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and current concerns.

    The session includes a Traditional Chinese Medicine assessment, which may involve checking your pulse, observing your tongue, and gently assessing relevant areas.

    You’ll receive a New Patient Form to complete before your appointment.

    If available, please bring any recent medical reports, and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

  • Follow-up consultations are for existing patients. Please bring any relevant medical information and wear loose, comfortable clothing.

Payment Support

  • Consultation fees are GST-exempt and can be paid after your treatment via EFTPOS, cash, bank transfer, or credit card.

  • We are registered with HICAPS and participating Health Funds can be found here. The ability to claim the cost of our services is dependent on your coverage as most Health Funds cover acupuncture, but with varying rates. Bring your Health Fund card to claim rebates upon payment or ask for an invoice.

  • Warrnambool Acupuncture is a sole-practitioner Chinese medicine clinic. Each appointment time is reserved for one patient, so when an appointment is missed or cancelled late, that time usually can't be offered to anyone else.

    • Please give at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. There is no charge if you do.

    • You can cancel or reschedule through the online booking system at any time, or by contacting the clinic on 0478 412 123. After-hours messages are accepted and counted from the time they're received.

    • Cancelling or rescheduling with less than 24 hours' notice incurs a fee of 50% of the appointment fee.

    • Not attending without notice incurs the full appointment fee.

    • No fee is charged if your appointment time is filled by another patient, or in cases of sudden illness, emergency or other exceptional circumstances.
