Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral?

Usually, no referral is required for private patients, however if you do have a referral please bring this to your consultation as the more information we know, the better. We also frequently work in partnership with your doctor and communicate with them during and at the completion of treatment.

You will need a referral if:

  • - you have been injured at work and are covered through a Workers’ Compensation Scheme.
  • - you have been in a motor vehicle accident and are covered through the Insurance Commission.

Can I claim through my private health fund?

HICAPS and EFTPOS facilities are available at our practice. The amount of rebate you will receive back is dependant on your private health fund and level of cover.
