Do I need a referral to see a dermatologist?

No, it is not necessary to have a referral from another doctor to see a dermatologist at Bulimba Dermatology. However, having a current referral will enable you to receive substantial rebates from Medicare towards the costs of your consultation and many related procedures. Referrals from general practitioners are generally valid for 12 months specific to the condition you have beenĀ referred for. Referrals from other specialists are generally valid for 3 months.
