To book an initial appointment with a Psychiatrist you will require a valid referral from your GP. Once we receive your referral at our consulting rooms, the Psychiatrist you have been referred to will review your referral to ensure your individual patient needs will be met and that your requirements are within their areas of specialisation/expertise.

As our Psychiatrists don’t practise at our consulting rooms every day and when they are consulting are fully booked it may take up to a week for your referral to be reviewed by one of our Psychiatrists.

If the Psychiatrist you are referred to is not able to meet your needs, we can show your referral to one of our other highly skilled Psychiatrists and if you are approved to see one of other Psychiatrists we can get your referral updated with your new Doctors details in preparation for your first appointment. Once your referral is approved, one of our reception team members will call you to discuss appointment fees and book the next available initial appointment time with you.
