Referrers
For professionals
Our experienced team is committed to providing your patients with the very best care. Here's how to refer.
How to refer
We prefer to receive referrals electronically
Referrals do not need to be addressed to a specific doctor in our practice — one of our cardiologists will triage every referral. Diagnostic test referrals can be addressed to the practice or an unspecified doctor.

Checklist for a valid referral
Patients cannot claim Medicare rebates without a valid referral at the time of their appointment. A valid referral must contain:
- The patient’s name and date of birth
- Date of the referral
- Relevant clinical information about the condition for investigation, opinion, treatment and management
- Signature of the referring practitioner
Medicare
How long a referral lasts
We accept indefinite GP referrals for ongoing conditions.
Medicare requires a new referral for a new presenting problem, or if the referring doctor changes location or ceases practising.
Need an urgent review?
We have the provisions to assess urgent referrals quickly. Call the clinic directly to discuss an urgent case with one of our cardiologists.
We are not an emergency service provider. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 000.
