Helpful information when attending a Specialist Appointment:
- Medicare requires that access to any rebates for your specialist consultation need a current written referral. A written GP or Optometrist referral is valid for 12 months and a written Specialist referral is valid for 3 months. Your specialist at Parke Street Specialist Centre will report back to whoever wrote the referral for you.
- A current referral is required for all services excluding Hearing Life, Vision Australia and Integrated Dental Health.
- Specialists are often assessing patients, operating or doing research or teaching so will often have specific days and limited times for consulting. Please be mindful that sometimes appointments need to be made well ahead of time.
- Please remember to bring any relevant scans and test results with you to your appointment and a list of your current Medications.
For all urgent matters, please contact your GP, Optometrist or the nearest emergency department.
