This referral needs to be received prior to your patient's next appointment or unfortunately we cannot book the follow up in.

A current referral is required for all clinic appointments. If not received your patient's appointment may be delayed and they may be transferred to another treating clinic for follow up care.

MBS-billed service

On the doctor’s behalf, Alfred Health can bulk bill the cost of the consultation for some services through Medicare. This means there is no out of pocket expense to the patient. 

MBS-billed services require a current referral. Provide your patient with a 12 month referral to see the specialist of your choice at the requested clinic. 

Referrals must be addressed to a named specialist or the Head of service, listed at the top of this page. Clinic consultants are listed on every clinic page.

Note that from time to time, your patient may be seen by another specialist in the clinic, in order to expedite their treatment.
