What changes the price
- Graft count. The single biggest driver. More coverage means more grafts and a longer procedure.
- Method. FUE takes follicles one at a time; FUT removes a strip. Clinics price them differently.
- Who performs it. Surgeon-led procedures and technician-led procedures are priced differently. Where a clinic offers both, the doctor-performed option costs more.
- What is included. Consultation, medication, aftercare and follow-up visits vary by clinic. Check whether GST and any theatre or facility fee are in the quote.

Common questions
How much does a hair transplant cost in Cairns?
There is no hair transplant clinic in Cairns on our list, so most people travel. Brisbane clinics publish FUE prices of $9,800 to $15,500 for 2,000 to 3,000 grafts. Add travel and accommodation to your budget.
Does Medicare cover a hair transplant in QLD?
Usually not. Medicare rules are the same in every state. Cosmetic hair restoration for pattern hair loss attracts no Medicare rebate, and private health funds generally do not cover it. Hair loss after burns, injury or disease can be assessed differently.
Is it cheaper to go overseas than to have it done in Cairns?
The headline price overseas is much lower, but flights, accommodation, time off work and aftercare add up, and follow-up or repair work back home costs extra. Compare the full cost before deciding.
