Psychiatry and psychology patients require a referral from their general practitioner before their initial appointment. These can be faxed or mailed to reception, and the administrative staff will follow up with you regarding an appointment. For regular patients ongoing GP referrals will be required over time for you to claim a Medicare rebate for your visits. Further information is available by phoning reception.
