Hey @MaryAnnie I'm also in Melbourne, in February this year I had a single mastectomy/diep flap reconstruction all at once. My PS was also recommended highly by my Surgeon and they work closely together. I've always been a private patient, however, my Surgeon and PS work out of the Royal Melbourne Hospital too, so they scheduled me through public and I had zero out of pocket.
