Making an appointment
Do I need a referral?
A referral is required from your general practitioner so that you can obtain a Medicare rebate for the consultation. More importantly the referral also ensures that your dermatologist can communicate with your primary care doctor about your problem.
What can I expect at my appointment?
At your initial consultation we aim to diagnose your skin condition and a treatment plan will be developed and discussed. It is important to remember that sometimes additional tests may be required to help with the diagnosis or management of your skin condition, and follow up appointments are often necessary.
