Appointments
Making an appointment.
What you need before you book, what it costs, and what to bring on the day.
You will need a referral
Cardiology is a specialist service, so a referral is needed before your first appointment. A referral from your GP lasts twelve months; one from another specialist lasts three.
Without a valid referral you can still be seen, but no Medicare rebate can be claimed for the consultation.
Fees
No bulk billing at present. Pensioners receive a discounted fee. Most items attract a Medicare rebate when you have a valid referral — the rooms will tell you your expected rebate and out-of-pocket cost when you book.

Where no pensioner fee is shown, ask the rooms when booking. Cardiac CT and MRI are performed at a radiology practice and billed by them.

If you have severe or sudden chest pain, call 000. An outpatient appointment is not the right route for an emergency, and you should not wait for one.
