FOR DOCTORS
Thank you for considering a referral to Brisbane Neurology.
We value your trust and aim to ensure your patient is seen as efficiently and appropriately as possible. To help streamline the referral process, we’ve included some important information below.
REFERRAL PROCESS
Medical Objects is our preferred method for receiving referrals as it goes directly to the doctor for review.
- Referrals should be to a specific provider who fits the referral – this helps with appropriate triaging and timely booking
(Please see the conditions we treat for individual doctor’s sub-specialties and areas of interest.) - Including a patient email address helps us contact your patient quickly. If we are unable to contact your patient due to missing details, the referral may be returned to your care.
- All referrals are individually triaged by the named doctor. You will be notified if the referral is accepted, redirected or returned.
REFERRALS WE CAN’T ACCEPT
Sometimes our doctors will pause accepting referrals subject to their availability and review patient wait times.
If a named doctor is unable to accept a referral, wherever possible the referral will be offered to another appropriate doctor in our practice. Alternatively, we may suggest a different provider or practice when returning to care.
We do not accept:
- Patients under the age of 16 years.
- Referrals relating to third parties, including but not limited to: ADF, Workcover, Insurance, MVA or Medicolegal.
- Referrals from doctors who are not medical doctors (dentists, optometrists etc). All referrals must be from medical doctors with an open Australian provider number.
Dr Airey is not accepting new referrals as she has relocated to Tasmania.
FEES AND WAIT TIMES
We are a private practice, and private fees apply.
Wait times for appointments vary between doctors.
Each doctor triages their own referrals.
We offer a waitlist for patients who wish to be contacted when cancellations arise.
