APPOINTMENTS / REFERRALS
A valid referral from a general practitioner is necessary to see a paediatrician. The initial referral from the General practitioner is valid for 12 month for the mentioned patient and condition to which the referral was initiated for. It is the parents’ responsibility to obtain a valid referral for the consultation. Appointments are made by emailing the GP referral to waverleypaediatrics@gmail.com. A GP referral is necessary before the consultation with a paediatrician. New appointments will be for around 80 mins in length and review appointments may go to 40 minutes. An administration form will need to be filled prior the booking. Please allow enough time for parking. We ask that you arrive 15 mins before the allocated appointment time
