PUBLISHED AUD RATE CARD
Rates by service.
Clear from the start.
Every Dr.Panda list rate is calculated as the mean of three public provider prices, multiplied by 1.5. Rates are shown in Australian dollars; the source models are comparable market references, not a claim that Dr.Panda resells those providers.
