What it costs locally
Two providers cover the Peel region, and both publish their prices - a rarity for a regional area.
| Clinic | Technique | Total fee | Medicare rebate | Out of pocket |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clinic 1 | No-scalpel | $725 | −$234 | $491 |
| Clinic 2 | No-scalpel, open-ended | $830 | −$233 | $597 |
One local clinic runs scheduled clinic days at its Mandurah site - booking is online, there’s no deposit and you pay on the day. a rooms at Rockingham take a $100 deposit with the balance on the day. Both quote a 15-20 minute procedure under local anaesthetic.
Public option and the Perth comparison
Vasectomy is rarely performed as a public elective in WA. A GP can refer you toward a public hospital urology service in the Peel/Fiona Stanley catchment, but it’s treated as low priority and waits are long - which is why nearly everyone books a private local-anaesthetic clinic directly.
Driving to Perth doesn’t change the bill much either: metro clinics publish $477-$597 out of pocket, the same band as the local options. The 72 km trip only makes sense if a particular Perth doctor, date or day-hospital option (with private health insurance) matters to you.
Fee, rebate, out of pocket - how the maths works
Every price on this page is built the same way. The clinic sets a total fee. Medicare pays back $233.90 for the procedure (item 37623, schedule fee $275.15, checked Aug 2026) - clinics that bill extra items such as the consult advertise rebates anywhere from about $215 to $279. What’s left after the rebate is your out-of-pocket cost, and it’s the only number worth comparing between clinics.
Two catches. The rebate needs a valid Medicare card - without one you pay the full fee. And check what a quote includes: some clinics bundle the consult and the 3-month semen test, others bill them separately. Full detail: how the Medicare rebate works.
