New research from healthcare directory Cleanbill has revealed the average cost of an initial consultation with a dermatologist is currently $296.71, while the Medicare rebate for this service is only $84.15. 

This means the average cost of an initial consultation sits at almost four times the Medicare rebate provided for the service.

It comes amidst figures from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare showing Medicare now covers the smallest proportion of specialist costs in its history.

Luke Grant chats with Cleanbill founder James Gillespie about why seeing the dermatologist is now more expensive than ever and how you can find the locations of the cheapest clinics.

With over 300 million copies sold in 115 countries and 48 languages since he first burst onto the literary scene over 45 years ago, Lord Jeffrey Archer is a global publishing phenomenon. 

And now he’s back, with the seventh in the bestselling William Warwick series, An Eye for An Eye. 

In one of the most luxurious cities on earth, a billion-dollar deal is about to go badly wrong. A lavish night out is about to end in murder. And the British government is about to be plunged into crisis.
