Christmas Closure

Geelong Paediatric Group

Appointments with our paediatricians are by referral only and appointments will only be allocated for the referred concern/s: we must receive a valid and detailed referral letter from your family doctor before we can arrange an appointment. GP referrals to our paediatricians will need to be renewed every 12 months, this helps the doctors to maintain a ‘team approach’ for your child’s health.

If you are unsure whether your child has a current and valid referral, please phone our friendly administration team. They will be able to advise you if a new referral is required.

FEES & PAYMENTS

Geelong Paediatric Group no longer accepts OUT-OF-POCKET (GAP) payments and therefore, Medicare Cheques. All appointments are to be paid for in full at the time of the appointment and the Medicare rebate will go back to your account usually within 24 hours of the claim. This also includes telehealth appointments.

If you are unable to pay or are experiencing financial hardship, please discuss this with the admin team prior to the appointment or the appointment/s may not be able to go ahead. 

For convenience we accept card and cash payments.  Internet transfers can be accepted if arranged prior to the appointments. Cheque payments are not accepted.

Telehealth Appointments

Your paediatrician may suggest from time to time that your Childs appointment be conducted via a video link. This is called telehealth and we use a department of health verified system to make these calls. They can be conducted from any device with a camera (smart phone, tablet, computer).

Please note that it is a Medicare requirement that the patient (your child) be in attendance at all appointment/s (including telehealth), if the patient is not present Medicare may not provide a rebate for the consult.
