How to make an appointment

Having decided that you feel I may be able to help you with your problem, please phone my secretary, Adrienne, on 03 9416 2470 (2 lines) and make an appointment.

Your appointment

Initial appointments are usually half an hour. Longer appointments are allocated if you are seeking a second opinion, or if you and your partner are attending an infertility consultation. Follow-up appointments are usually a quarter of an hour. Again longer appointments will be made for an infertility consultation with your partner attending.

A referral from your General Practitioner

To arrange a consultation you will need a referral from your general practitioner. If your partner will also be attending, make sure they are also named in the referral letter, so that you may obtain a specialist rebate from Medicare for both of you.

Partner Participation

This practice encourages the participation of partners/husbands in such issues as infertility management. To facilitate this, please make sure that your partner/husband is named in the referral from your doctor. A joint appointment will cost you less (in out of pocket expenses) than an individual appointment. However both you and your partner/husband will be billed for the appointment, and both will need to claim for the Medicare rebate.

Consultation fees

This practice does not bulk bill. Consultation fees are based on those considered fair and reasonable by the Australian Medical Association (AMA). As a consequence there will be an 'out of pocket' cost.

If you have any further questions about fees, do not hesitate to ask.

Filling in Forms

To facilitate your consultation and make it as stress free and productive as possible, we ask that you complete some personal data, and medical information forms prior to your consultation.

Our standard forms can be downloaded from this website. You can return the completed forms by email, by fax, or by mail. When you make your appointment, Adrienne will advise you on which forms are required, and will guide you through the website to find them if you need assistance.
