To be honest, I think thats quite reasonable. I used to work in the private sector as a nurse and the consultants I worked with charged £110 per initial consultation which lasted not more than 10 minutes! thats without having any treatment or investigations!

We paid about £750 for all of us 2 adults and 3 kids 9,7,2 the price was bumped up because of tattoos and pipiercing (hep B and Aidstest) l think. But money worth spending as we got our visa last October

If you go to Dr. Million (St John Street) he is excellent, Medicals and X-rays all done under one roof. We had ours done there 405.00 for 2 adults I had to have hep B and Hep C as I work in medical field. If you don't hear from him within 7 days all is well and your meds are posted straight away. Our meds were signed for 3 days after he posted them to Sydney and 2 days after that our CO in Adelaide said she had received them so all done in less than two weeks. Money very well spent. He also keeps a copy of the meds for 1 year in case they get lost in transit, not many other GPs are doing this and there are horror stories of people's meds going missing and there are no copies.
I would go with Dr Million. Good luck in your decision
