BEFORE MAKING AN APPPOINTMENT
Your child will need a referral letter from your GP or specialist to see a Paediatrician.
GP referrals are generally valid for 12 months only. After 12 months, you will need your GP to make a new referral. You will also need a new GP referral letter if you are attending for a new problem.
Note: referrals provided by a specialist are only valid for 3 months.
WHAT TO BRING TO YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
Medicare card.
Referral letter from your GP if you have not already emailed or faxed it through.
Your child’s Health and Development Record (blue or green book).
Any previous assessments or reports for your child (e.g. X-rays, blood tests, speech / psychology / cognitive assessments, school reports).
Please arrive with your child 10 mins prior to the time booked for your first appointment.
For acute or urgent referrals, please ask your GP to contact us directly.
Please contact the rooms at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment if you are unable to attend and/or need to reschedule your booked time. Please contact us at (02) 4243 8991
Our friendly reception staff will ensure an appropriate appointment is made for you by asking briefly about why your child needs an appointment.
