Referrals

A referral is the essential first step to seeing any specialist. It provides information from your doctor on what specialist information or treatments that they think are required to help you on your health journey.

Our Endocrinologists use the referral to triage your case. Referrals deemed urgent are seen as soon as possible, Generally within 2 weeks. Semi Urgent Referrals are seen within 8 weeks and Non Urgent referrals are given the next available appointment.

Your referral helps achieve a partnership between you, your specialist and your regular care provider or GP. Specialists are generally not available to see you at short notice between booked appointments and that is where the communication between the specialist and your GP becomes really important.

Please remember that the referral is required to be eligible for a Medicare rebate. If you do not have a referral on the day you see the specialist you will not receive a Medicare refund.

The back dating of referrals is illegal and subject to a substantial fine for any Doctor who backdates a referral. It is a Medicare requirement that referrals can only be written during the course of a consultation. Substantial penalties apply for any GP convicted of writing referrals outside of a consultation.

Toowoomba Endocrine and Diabetes

We work closely with your general practitioner, specialists, and allied health professionals to provide you with the best possible care.

At Toowoomba Endocrine and Diabetes, we take the time to accurately diagnose the problem and to provide you with up-to-date medical care and technologies. We also understand the importance of diet, exercise, and sleep in managing your overall health, and will work to develop an individual plan to help you feel better and to manage your health throughout your whole life.

We see patients in new our clinic at the Toowoomba Specialist Centre on Scott Street, and via Telehealth directly to you at home or with your GP.

Our Fees and Pricing info

This is not a bulk-billing practice, so there are out of pocket expenses. Full payment is required at the time of consultation or by prior arrangement. Electronic payments by EFTPOS, credit card or Direct Deposit are preferred.

Medicare rebates are available to eligible patients. Current and Valid referrals are essential to enable claiming and to give the specialist as much information as possible to help you with your medical care. DVA rates and Workcover are also available to patients with appropriate approvals.

The fees cover the cost of the consultation and producing a detailed letter of advice to you and your referring doctor.

We provide “No Gap” care for patients in-hospital, so you will not have any extra expenses if your Health Fund approves your care in hospital.
