Need to know about your appointment
Referrals
Novus Dermatology & Skin Health strives for excellence in dermatology care.
Our administration staff are welcoming and always endeavor to accommodate urgent referrals.
Referrals can be sent to us via fax (03) 42226030 or referral net. Please call the practice to book an appointment.
For dermatology patients, we can see you with or without a referral, but to be eligible for any Medicare rebates for consultations, biopsies and other medical procedures, you will need a referral from your general practitioner (referral will be valid for 12 months) or from a specialist (valid for 3 months).
We do not accept indefinite referrals. An updated referral from your GP is required every 12 months to make sure that we have the most updated information about your health and current medications.
In Summery referral is required for New patients, Existing patients with a new or additional condition, Existing patients who haven’t attended in 12 months+
Patients who would like to see one of our highly skilled general practitioner colleagues Dr Reza Amirtouri or Dr Avinash Rajcoomar at Skin Check Clinic Do Not need a GP referral.
For patients with less complicated skin conditions, we can offer a sooner appointment with Dr Amirtouri. These patients skin concern will be discussed with Dr Taklif.
Is it possible to claim the fees on a private health insurance?
Unfortunately, the private health insurance only covers medical services provided in hospital.
For overseas patients and International students
Rebates are available for patients who hold a valid Medicare Card.
Patients without a Medicare card e.g. international students and overseas patients do not usually require a referral, but we encourage you to involve your GP in your care by bringing in an initial referral. Rebates are available for patients who hold a valid Medicare Card.
