ExtrasMate is not a medical provider. We don't diagnose or recommend specific practitioners or treatments; we organise and show information so you can choose for yourself. The savings come from your private health rebate and the provider's own pricing, not from coupons we issue.

What to compare

Before you book, compare these.

  1. Start with an eye check

    An optometrist's eye test is often covered by Medicare. Diagnosis and treatment plans come from the optometrist or eye specialist.

  2. Check qualifications

    Optometrists are Ahpra-registered. Orthoptists aren't; ask if they're an Orthoptics Australia member.

  3. Hours and language

    Check after-school or weekend times, and whether they can explain results in your language.

  4. Ask fees and rebates separately

    Kids' glasses come from your optical limit. Not every policy covers orthoptics, so check with your insurer first.

Good to know about Sydney CBD

Trains and light rail are close by, and many clinics are in office buildings. Lunchtime and after-work slots go fast, so book ahead.

You might also ask

Do I need a referral?
Not for an optometrist. You can usually book an orthoptist directly too, though many families go on an optometrist's or eye specialist's advice.
When shouldn't I wait?
A sudden eye turn, an eye injury, sudden blurry vision, or a painful red eye: see a GP or emergency promptly.
How do I find the right care and spend less?
First work out what kind of care you need and who provides it, then compare nearby providers' prices and what your cover pays. We list local providers who accept private health cover, with registration you can check, and you choose.
Can I use ExtrasMate without private health insurance?
Yes. The service guide and provider search are free for everyone; you just pay the provider yourself.
Once I've chosen, how do I know if Extras will pay?
Ask the provider for the item number and price, then check in your insurer's app or by phone. Or add us on WeChat and we'll check for you.
Is a provider offer the same as an Extras rebate?
No. Rebates are paid by your insurer under your policy; offers are discounts from the provider. Their conditions differ, so confirm each.
What can you do on WeChat? Can you book for me?
Yes. We can explain your policy's conditions, compare providers, find offers that apply and book for you, free.

This is a service guide, not an online diagnosis. A qualified professional decides what suits you. In an emergency or if you're seriously unwell, call 000.
