Referrals

All patients should note it is essential you bring a current referral from your family doctor.

Please note that in order to be eligible for a Medicare Rebate, a valid referral is required. Generally, referrals from general practitioners are valid for 12 months, and those from specialists/physicians are valid for 3 months only. Please ensure your referral is up to date.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel an appointment we will require at least 24 hours’ notice in order to offer the appointment to someone else.

No Show Policy

As a courtesy to other patients who need to see the doctor urgently, please confirm your attendance at least three days prior to your scheduled appointment.

If you are unable to confirm your appointment, or our staff cannot contact you to confirm, another patient in need will be given your scheduled appointment.

Cancellation or failure to confirm often translates to a lengthy delay in seeing a Cardiologist due to the busy nature of our practice.
