Paediatrics Referral FAQs
Common questions about getting paediatrics referrals online in Australia from AHPRA-registered doctors
Do I need a referral to see a paediatrician, or can I self-refer?
You can contact a paediatrician directly, but without a referral you'll pay the full fee with no Medicare rebate, and most paediatric practices won't book a new patient without one. A referral covers follow-up visits for the same concern, and Doccy's online doctors can issue paediatric referrals same-day.
How long is a paediatric referral valid for?
A standard paediatric referral is valid for 12 months, counted from your first appointment with the specialist rather than the date it was written. This covers multiple appointments including the initial consultation and follow-up visits for the same condition or concern.
Can I get a referral for ADHD or autism assessment online?
Yes, Doccy can issue referrals for developmental assessments including ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. A developmental paediatrician can conduct comprehensive assessments and provide diagnosis and management recommendations.
What concerns warrant a paediatric referral?
Common concerns requiring paediatric assessment include developmental delays, behavioural problems, chronic illness, recurrent infections, growth concerns, allergies, and unexplained symptoms. Our doctors can advise if a referral is appropriate for your child.
How quickly can I get a paediatric referral online?
With Doccy, most paediatric referrals are issued same-day, often within hours of completing your consultation. After our AHPRA-registered doctor reviews your case, your referral is emailed directly to you.
Can I choose which paediatrician my child sees?
Absolutely. Your referral can be addressed to a specific paediatrician by name, or issued as an open referral allowing you to choose any appropriate specialist. When requesting your referral through Doccy, let us know if you have a preferred paediatrician.
Will a paediatric referral cover all my child's appointments?
Yes, a valid referral to a paediatrician covers all consultations for the condition described within the 12-month validity period. This includes the initial assessment and follow-up appointments.
At what age does a child stop seeing a paediatrician?
Paediatricians typically see patients from birth until age 18, though some continue seeing young adults with chronic childhood conditions. After age 18, care usually transitions to adult specialists. Your paediatrician can help coordinate this transition.
