Referrals​ & Reminders

Referrals​ & Reminders

Before making any initial specialist referrals, you should consult with your doctor, who can determine which specialist is ideal for you. To make sure you get the most out of your appointment with the specialist, you might also need to have some tests or investigations completed before seeing them.

Ongoing referrals can be requested over the phone in some circumstances. If this is not appropriate, your doctor will let the receptionists know, and you will be advised to schedule an appointment.

Ask your doctor or the receptionist for a travel claim form if you are referred to a specialist outside of the Mildura region.

It is not necessary to have a referral to see a podiatrist, physiotherapist, optometrist, or chiropractor; however, in some circumstances your doctor may consider it appropriate to send one.
The doctors at this practice are committed to offering preventive care. The clinic would remind you to take advantage of preventive health services (like a cervical screening test) on behalf of your doctor.

Please inform the reception staff if you do not want to use this system.
