Appointments

When scheduling an appointment or procedure with A/Prof Pavey – we recommend you obtain a referral from your GP (family doctor) or Specialist.

OUR PROCESS

While an appointment can be made prior to obtaining your referral, we ask that you provide one as soon as possible so it can be reviewed prior to your appointment. Referrals are reviewed within 24 hours and are triaged according to clinical need. You will be contacted directly by our practice.

This process ensures that all patients are clinically reviewed quickly and managed appropriately.

First step

Before we can schedule a consultation or procedure, we also request that you (or your referring doctor) provide:

• All relevant contact details, Medicare/DVA and Health Fund information
• Details regarding your past medical history
• A list of medications, including aspirin and vitamins
• A list of allergies
• Any relevant or current x-rays, scans or ultrasounds
• All blood test results (previous 12 months)
• A completed Patient Information & Consent Form

This information can be sent to us by email, fax or mail. Your referring doctor may send the referral to us directly by email, fax or mail, or also by Secure Messaging (Healthlink)

 

Next step

Your referral and supporting documentation is reviewed by our clinical staff, assessed for urgency and reviewed for treatment options. This assessment is usually completed within 24 hours, but may take up to 72 hours, not including weekends. We then contact you to arrange either 1) a consultation, or 2) a procedure.

Please ensure that you provide us with an active and current daytime contact number.
