Appointments and referrals

A simple pathway for patients and referring doctors.

Tell us briefly what care you are seeking and a member of the practice team will contact you about the appropriate appointment and next step.

For patients

Request an appointment

Let us know whether you are seeking colonoscopy, gastroscopy, inflammatory bowel disease care or another gastroenterology consultation. A member of the practice team will aim to contact you within two business days about the next step.

Request an appointment

You can enquire before obtaining a referral. A valid referral is generally required to receive a Medicare specialist rebate. Responses may take longer during public holidays and planned practice closures.

For referring GPs

Referral assistance

If you are having difficulty arranging the formal referral, provide only the minimum patient and practice details. A member of the practice team will contact your practice about the secure referral pathway.
