Prior To Your Appointment
- You will need a referral letter from your GP or specialist before your appointment. A GP referral is usually valid for 12 months. A referral from another specialist is only valid for 3 months
- You will need a new referral letter if you are seeing your regular doctor for a new problem.
- If unsure about the validity of your referral, please contact reception to clarify whether a new referral is required prior to your appointment.
- A valid referral will allow you to claim a Medicare rebate.
- Prepare your child about the upcoming appointment. These appointments are usually fairly detailed and it helps for children to have an idea of what to expect.
