Iron infusions are incredibly safe in our hands. Our clinic is run a team of Specialist Haematologists (Blood Specialists), all of whom have a special interest in anaemia and iron deficiency.
The Iron Clinic was established by Dr Joel Collins (Clinical Haematologist) in 2019 and has grown to be one of of the largest iron infusion clinics in Australia. As such, our specialist doctors and nurses have a great deal of experience in delivering iron infusions safely and efficiently.
The service is available for all suitable patients including pregnant women and adolescents. For children under the age of 12, suitability will decided on a case by case basis.
The iron infusion/venesection service is available to patients without private health insurance. As the service is provided on an outpatient basis, no hospital admission fee is payable.
Fees for our service
- The combined out of pocket for the consultation with our haematologist as well as the iron infusion is approximately $150. A concession/pensioner discount is also available.
- Patients are required to fill a prescription for their iron before attending. This is paid directly to the dispensing pharmacy. The cost is currently around $6.60 for health care care holders, or up to $36 for those without a concession (price may vary between pharmacies)
Referred Patients
The service is offered on a referral basis to allow patients to receive a medicare rebate for the service. Patients will need a valid referral from their GP, specialist or nurse practitioner to receive a medicare rebate. It is at the discretion of the GP (or other referrer) as to whether a referral to the service is suitable or necessary.
Unreferred Patients
Patients can receive an iron infusion without a referral, however no medical rebate will be available. Please contact us for further information.
