NEW Appointment booking process: GP referrals are required for all new patient bookings so please arrange GP referrals via Medical Objects or Fax to us: (07) 5357 8759. Bookings will not be made prior to receiving GP referrals, and each Paediatrician will triage their GP referrals and advise if accepted and the schedule of appointments required depending on the referral question.
