Medicare requires an in-date referral to be able to claim the Medicare rebate.
Referrals are valid for 12 months, please check with reception when your referral expires.
This includes Department of Veterans' Affairs & Workers Compensation patients.
While we endeavour to send SMS reminders for expiring referrals,
it is also the patient's responsibility to ensure they have a current GP referral.
This will vary depending on medications, the duration between appointments
& authority scripts. There may be a fee for scripts outside of an appointment.
All authority scripts must be collected from our centre.
Please note most of our doctors do operate with us part-time
and may not be able to produce prescriptions within 7 days.
We advise contacting your GP as well for assistance with medications.
