Can eye tests be bulk-billed in Australia?

Yes, eye care experts offer bulk billed optometrist services and tests to Australian citizens and permanent residents. In most cases, the optometrist will bulk bill Medicare directly for standard eye tests.

How much does it cost to see a bulk billed optometrist in Australia?

A fee may apply for brief initial consultations (defined as visits under 15 minutes) and subsequent short consultations. Get in touch with our team to find out more about our bulk billed optometrist eye exam rates.

What conditions can be detected in bulk billed optometrist eye exams?

If you’re planning to visit an eye care expert for an eye exam, the illnesses or health conditions that can be detected include: High blood pressure, Heart disease, Diabetes, Rheumatoid arthritis, Thyroid disorder, Parkinson’s disease, Cancer, Multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, Vitamin A deficiency, Vascular disease, Sickle cell disease, Giant cell arteritis, Cataracts, Glaucoma.

Do I need an eye care expert exam before my driving test?

Yes. When you apply for a driver's licence, you will need to pass an eye exam along with the mandatory on-road and theory tests. We are professional bulk billed optometrists in Melbourne, offering driver’s eye tests to measure several aspects of your vision that are essential to your safety when out on the road.

Does Medicare cover glasses in Australia?

Medicare Australia doesn’t pay a benefit for purchasing eye-related aids and appliances such as glasses and contact lenses. The bulk billed provision of medical aids and appliances for eligible patients in Australia is a state or territory government responsibility.

What should I expect at Spectacle Hub’s eye exam?

In our bulk billed eye exams, our highly qualified optometrists use the latest tools and automated machinery to assess your symptoms and health details to help alleviate your pain and vision concerns.
