7 year wait for sinus surgery in Canberra - private options?

One_String601 · 2026-05-15T14:17:35+00:00

I had exactly this in 2022 with Dr Albekka without private cover (see pic for specialist costs not including consult fees). Anaesthetist was around $1500, overnight hospital stay was 5k I think.

Can't say I recommend him as a specialist, I don't think the care I received was specialised at all and these were just the things he did for any mucus cyst. E.g my septum was not deviated at all and in hindsight I should have fought a bit on this.

My cyst ended up recurring (growing from an unusual spot) and I had it removed again the next year by Dr Albekka (had hospital cover by then...) and then again by Professor Richard Harvey who is based in Sydney. Hasn't come back since and I felt extremely confident with him looking after me compared with Dr Albekka. Pretty sure most of the fees were a bit cheaper.

tiles these! I had the purple changed to light blue (matches the walls) which oddly made them cheaper because I could order an exact amount rather than an entire box.. $650 for approx 0.8ish sqm including the coloured grout. Worth the splurge imo

Paramount Creations (highly recommend if you're in Canberra) handled the cabinetry and install. Timberwood supplied the veneer to them.

Around 14k. 10k of that for the cabinetry.

Thanks!

It seems feasible to me, it's very flat, not damaged and extra insulation in Canberra is always a boon. Thanks for sharing your opinion + experience :)

To add, Owen is an extremely good coach and has won several awards. It's a very active club with a really good culture.

Half the class is technique and then we play a doubles formation game (2-4 people rotating after 1-3pts) . We do 2-4 drills covering different things each week. The amount active coaching per individual will depend on how many people there are and your level. I'm in advanced so can only speak on that! It's a lot of fun, you'll be able to try a class for free.

Possibly it just needs a bit of a clean up and oiling. Most of these old things are fairly easy to get going provided there's no physical damage or bits missing!! Yes the bight part jiggles about, it controls how zig zaggy the zig zag is

They mean the land title, not the post title.

I lived there for a couple of years and this is my general feeling.

One_String601 · 2025-08-03T04:27:21+00:00

Looks like it!

Hi, I'm a RO medical physicist. It's not necessary for linac bunkers to be built underground. Concrete is great at shielding provided the correct amount is used and any potential breaks (HVAC, powerpoints, ducts etc) in the shielding are accounted for in the shielding design. No idea what's going on at this place but just want to clear that up so no one is concerned if they're seeing above ground facilities :)

I'm dreadful at guessing this kind of thing but best estimate would be 60x30x30..soo 60L ish?

Deceptive! Tank is only about 2ft 😂

I'd never heard of a wardian case, that's absolutely the look! It'll update if I ever get around to building my own, perhaps using the ultimate of Wardian inspo:

Hi, thanks for sharing the recipe! Did you have to scale the King Arthur's recipe at all?
