AEC costs, payments and insurance

The AEC accepts most payment options, including cash, Visa, Mastercard and Amex. We do not accept Diners Club cards or cheques. Accounts must be finalised when your pet is discharged. A deposit of a minimum of 50% of the estimated cost is required prior to admission for all hospitalised patients. Further deposits may be requested for patients staying longer than 24 hours. Please note: unlike some human emergency services, the AEC receives no government subsidies. AEC clinics are funded entirely by generated income, so fees are carefully set to ensure that the centres can provide all necessary resources for your special companions.

Pet insurance gives peace of mind in the event of significant trauma or illness, allowing you to concentrate on your pet and not have to worry about the cost.

We recommend pet insurance for all pets. Insurance allows vets to achieve the best outcomes for pets rather than having to make compromises based on finances. High-quality medical care costs a lot of money. The good news in the human world is that healthcare is Medicare-funded and many people have private health insurance. This is not the case in the animal world – health care costs remain high, but veterinary care is not subsidised by the government and few people have pet insurance. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, pet insurance rates are much higher than in Australia. We see many cases each year where treatable conditions must be left untreated due to financial constraints, sometimes with dire consequences. Other times, limited finances mean care can be provided, but not at a level most likely to lead to a good outcome.

The benefit of pet insurance is you don’t have to come up with a large sum of money all at once. If your pet is insured and the unexpected happens, money is one less thing for you to worry about. Veterinarians love pet insurance because they can do what’s best for your pet without having to worry as much about money. A number of insurance companies provide pet insurance in the Australian market and provide a range of options. Some provide cover for preventative care, such as vet checks and vaccinations, while others focus on providing peace of mind for unexpected occurrences, such as illnesses, accidents or dog attacks.

As with any investment, be sure to read the fine print before purchasing a pet insurance plan. Some insurers have time limits on the length of cover provided for each illness, which may exclude long-term, chronic or recurring illnesses. Other plans may exclude certain breeds or types of illnesses from being covered or even have an age cut-off after which your pet is not covered. Thoroughly research the available plans to find one that is right for you and your pet. Be sure to find one that will cover them for their whole life, even if your diabetic, arthritic Pyrenean Mastiff gets hit by a car.

About Dr Williana Basuki

Dr. Williana Basuki was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. She graduated from UO in 2010. She worked as a small animal GP before joining OVS and Pet ER for two years of rotating and surgery internships. She pursued her career and accepted a 3-year residency position in dentistry and oral surgery with a master's degree at Colorado State University. She then worked as a vet dental specialist and became an Adjunct Associate Professor at Tufts University. She returned to Australia in 2020 to be the first and only registered dental specialist (small animal) in OLD. Will is a well-known speaker both nationally and internationally, and she is also an active committee member in both ANZCVS (examiner) and AVDC. She is also an Adjunct Lecturer at University of Queensland. She owns two cats (Felix & Sabertooth) and used to own two hamsters in the USA (Truffle & Oyster, RIP).

Our consultation rooms are designed to be a simple, soothing environment. They are used for the initial assessment of less critical patients and discussions with owners prior to admitting animals for treatment. More critical cases will be transferred directly to the treatment area upon arrival.

Our surgery suite is equipped with advanced anaesthetic and ventilation machines complete with full monitoring equipment (including blood pressure, SpO2, PCO2, body temperature, ECG), heating facilities, suction machines and more.

All hospitalised patients are monitored continuously throughout their stay, with vets and trained personnel on duty at all times. Your companion stays in a comfortable, clean cage visible to all of our staff. We discourage toys and blankets from home – with the high amount of traffic at our hospital, it is difficult to guarantee they will return home.

Our intensive care unit contains sophisticated monitoring and diagnostic equipment to look after the most critical of our patients.

We are fully equipped to run full blood profiles, clotting tests, microscopy, urinalysis, blood gases, electrolytes, haematology and more to ensure we obtain fast results, usually within minutes. This enables fast and accurate diagnosis and treatment.

We are equipped with a CT machine, x-ray machines, ultrasound, endoscopy and an automatic processing and developing machine.

We have a full range of emergency medication, including blood transfusion products and antiserums for snake bites and paralysis ticks.
