FAQs
Please provide a valid referral from your GP prior to booking your appointment. If the referral is not recieved prior to your appointment you will not be able to claim a Medicare rebate for the consultation, and you will be required to pay the full private fee. Your GP referral is only valid for 12 months. If your referral has expired please ensure it is updated prior to booking an appointment
We are a private billing practice which means there will be an out of pocket cost for the consultation. The fee will depend on the complexity of your child’s needs and the type of consultation. Unfortunately private health insurance does not cover standard out-of-hospital consultations. If you would like to discuss this further please speak to our helpful reception team who can provide further clarifications.
To provide your child with the most comprehensive care possible we ask that you bring the following information if possible: Medicare card, Referral letter, Child Health Record/ Blue Book, Registration form, recent investigations or tests, relevant hospital or specialist letters, school reports
We welcome new patients to our service and referrals will be triaged according to clinical need. Waiting times will depend on the clinician and we encourage you to speak to our friendly reception staff who can provide you with up to date waiting times.
