Core Aesthetics does not use a public procedure or product price menu. After Corey Anderson RN has listened to your concern and assessed whether a clinic pathway is appropriate to discuss, he explains the individual fee, what it includes, what is not included, any review arrangements and the payment terms before you decide. You can set a firm budget, ask for the information in writing and leave without proceeding.
Start with your question, not a price list
You do not need to arrive knowing the name of a procedure or how much you should spend. You can begin with what you have noticed, what you want to understand and the budget boundary that would keep the decision comfortable.
Corey Anderson RN stays with that conversation from assessment through to the written cost explanation. If a clinic option is suitable to discuss, you should know the total fee for that plan, what it covers and what could change before you choose. If it is not the right direction, the appointment can end with more information, waiting, referral or no cosmetic care.
Three useful cost conversations
Ask how fees are explained
The clinic can explain the pricing process, consultation pathway and what information is needed without guessing at a personal plan.
Share your budget clearly
Tell Corey the maximum spend that feels comfortable and whether you would prefer to wait if an appropriate plan exceeds it.
Take home the full scope
Ask for the fee, inclusions, exclusions, review arrangements and payment terms together so the number has useful context.
Your fee follows the assessment
A public headline price cannot know what Corey will find, whether a clinic pathway is appropriate or whether another kind of care should come first. That is why this page explains the process rather than presenting a product or procedure menu.
After assessment, any individual fee belongs to a defined plan. Corey explains the amount, the care included, the review pathway and any known limits before you decide. The consultation guide covers what to bring and the other answers you should leave with.
What should be clear before you pay?
A useful written cost record lets you understand the whole commitment, not only the first number.
What the fee belongs to
The concern assessed, the proposed pathway if any, and the facts that could change it.
What is and is not included
The complete fee for the stated plan, included care, exclusions and review arrangements.
What happens if plans change
Deposit, due-date, cancellation and refund terms, with time to ask questions before paying.
Your budget belongs in the conversation
You can name a firm maximum before a plan is built. A simple way to say it is: This is the most I would feel comfortable spending. If an appropriate option costs more, I would rather wait than change the plan simply to meet the number.
Your ceiling is not a spending target and does not create permission to add care. If you are comparing written quotes, check that they describe the same assessment finding, practitioner roles, inclusions and review expectations before comparing totals.
Keep these seven details together
| Written detail | What it tells you | Question to ask |
|---|---|---|
| Concern assessed | The question the fee belongs to | What did Corey assess? |
| Proposed pathway | The scope, if an option is appropriate | What exactly is being discussed? |
| Total fee | The amount for that stated plan | Is this the complete figure? |
| Inclusions | The care and review covered | What is included and with whom? |
| Exclusions | The boundary of the quote | What would carry a separate fee? |
| Change conditions | What could alter the plan or total | Which uncertainties remain? |
| Payment terms | Deposit, timing, cancellation and refunds | What happens if the plan changes? |
When the fee may need to wait
Sometimes Corey cannot responsibly give a personal fee at the first conversation. Records may be missing, the concern may need another health professional, or there may not yet be an appropriate cosmetic plan to quote. If a fee is provisional or deferred, the reason and the next useful step should be clear.
Paying a deposit does not settle suitability. Ask what it secures, when it becomes non-refundable and what happens if health information, timing or Corey’s recommendation changes. Keep the written terms with the cost record.
Plan your pricing conversation
Meet Corey in the Oakleigh clinic for a calm, private assessment where questions about cost are welcome from the beginning.
Corey assesses the concern and explains the useful next step. If a clinic option is appropriate to discuss, you receive the relevant fee, inclusions, limits and review arrangements before deciding. Same-day care is never presumed.
Come in with a budget, not a commitment
Meet Corey, ask what the right next step may cost and take away the information you need before choosing.
Is this for you?
Consider booking a consultation if
- Adults wanting to understand the boundary between public pricing information and a private quote
- People preparing a budget ceiling and written cost questions
- Adults comparing whether two cost records describe the same scope
- People checking deposits, inclusions, exclusions and review arrangements
This may not be for you if
- Anyone seeking a public menu that points to particular prescription medicines
- Anyone treating a quote as proof of suitability
- People seeking legal or personal financial advice
- Anyone needing urgent assessment rather than elective cost information
Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Core Aesthetics not publish a product menu?
Will I know the total fee before deciding?
If a pathway is appropriate to discuss, the proposed plan, total fee, inclusions, exclusions and relevant payment terms should be explained before a decision or payment. You can ask questions and choose not to proceed.
Can I book mainly to understand possible cost?
Yes. The appointment can be used to clarify the concern, whether a clinic pathway is appropriate and what information would be needed for a responsible cost record. It may still end with waiting, referral or no cosmetic procedure.
What should a written cost record include?
It should name the assessed concern, proposed pathway if any, total fee, included care, exclusions, circumstances that could change the plan, and deposit, cancellation and refund terms.
Can I give Corey a firm budget limit?
Yes. State the maximum amount you are comfortable spending and say whether you prefer to wait or decline if an appropriate plan would exceed it. A budget limit is not a target or permission to add services.
How do I compare two quotes?
First confirm that the assessment finding, proposed pathway, practitioner roles, inclusions, exclusions and review expectations are equivalent. Different scopes cannot be compared reliably by total price alone.
Does paying a deposit confirm suitability?
No. Payment and clinical suitability are separate. Ask what happens if health information changes, the plan changes, the practitioner advises against proceeding or you decide not to continue.
Can same day care be promised when I ask about price?
No. Some adults may be suitable to decide on the same day after appropriate assessment and informed consent, but it is not automatic and cannot be promised by a website or price discussion.
When might Corey decline to provide a quote?
A personal quote may be deferred when the concern needs another health pathway, records are missing, the goal is unclear, another practitioner decision is required or no appropriate cosmetic plan has been identified.
Which practitioner details can I verify?
Corey Anderson is listed as a Registered Nurse with Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. Use the Ahpra public register and the Core Aesthetics verification page rather than relying only on advertising.
