Payment Plans

If you require assistance paying for your surgery you could consider a payment plan. This is where a line of credit is provided by a company that specialises in helping patients fund surgery.

There are a number of these companies in Australia.

Our patients have used a number of these over the years and many of them have recommended TLC. 

TLC Payment Plan NOW AVAILABLE.

Superannuation 

Assistance with drawing funds from Superannuation can be provided if this is required.

Please enquire about this during the surgery booking process.
