Appointments

The Department of Allergy conducts outpatients' clinics with 'bulk-billed' appointments available.

A referral from a general practitioner (such as a local doctor) or a specialist (such as a paediatrician) is required. A referral from a general practitioner is valid for 12 months, while a referral from a specialist is valid for 3 months.

An appointment can be made by sending the Department the referral from your Doctor. We are unable to make initial consultations (that is, a first visit) over the telephone.
