Yes. A valid referral from your GP or specialist is required to book an appointment and to claim a Medicare rebate. GP referrals are valid for 12 months following initial appointment (not from the date of issue). Specialist referrals are valid for 3 months following initial appointment. Please arrange for your referral to be sent ahead of your appointment via Medical Objects, HealthLink, email or fax. A referral is required for acne clinics.

Extensive wait lists necessitated Dr Thornton, Dr Lamrock and Dr Barrett to close their books. However, acne referrals are still accepted by Dr Lamrock and Dr Thornton and Dr Barrett still accepts referrals for Mohs surgery.

Appointment availability varies by dermatologist. We are a busy specialist practice and wait times depend on clinical urgency. Your referral helps us triage your appointment appropriately.

Please note that cancelling or rescheduling an existing booking may lead to longer wait times, as heavily booked schedules and existing waitlists can make coordinating near appointments difficult to arrange.

For acne and Mohs surgery inquiries, please call our reception team - (02) 4022 8739.

We are unable to provide medical advice via email. Appointments are only arranged by phone. This allows your referral to be reviewed, triaged by clinical urgency, and matched with the appropriate dermatologist.
