Welcome to Gippsland Bariatric Services

As of 1st January 2024 out of pocket costs will be increasing  (so if you have Private Health Insurance this will now be $5000), for the uninsured these costs will also increase.   As Government and Health Fund rebates have not risen in line with the increasing costs of maintaining a medical practice this increase is being implemented.  If you have an outdated MEMO for 2023 we will be happy to provide the new one to you.

Gippsland Bariatric Services is currently providing a general surgical service to Maryvale Private Hospital.  We also now have an office at the Victoria Street Medical Clinic, Warragul  and Berwick Healthcare – ring 5174 0036 or Fax 5174 0046 for appointments for all clinics.

Mr. David Scott is a Gippsland based General Surgeon with an interest in advanced laparoscopic surgery. Mr. Scott runs the main Gippsland Bariatric Services office from his consulting rooms at 150 Princes Highway, Traralgon, where all appointments to see Mr. Scott are made.  Referrals are accepted not only locally but state-wide and from interstate.

There is an initial consulting fee of which you will receive a partial refund from Medicare. Subsequent consultation with respect to the initial consultation are bulk billed.
