Frequently Asked Questions
How many ophthalmologists are in Melbourne?
Melbourne has 115 ophthalmologist listings across consulting practices, compiled from publicly available practice information. The same specialist can consult at more than one practice, so listings exceed individual practitioners.
Do I need a referral to see an ophthalmologist in Australia?
Yes — and you do not need an in-person GP appointment to get one. Any registered medical practitioner can issue a specialist referral, including a telehealth doctor: Doccy issues ophthalmologist referrals online from AHPRA-registered Australian doctors, where clinically appropriate. A referral runs 12 months from your first specialist appointment by default, indefinitely when the referring doctor marks an ongoing condition, or 3 months when written by another specialist (Medicare Benefits Schedule).
How do I book an ophthalmologist in Melbourne?
Once you have obtained a referral, phone the consulting practice directly to book — Doccy does not hold appointment books for these practices. Have your referral and Medicare card ready to claim the rebate, and confirm the fee and any gap payment when you call, as specialists set their own fees. If you do not have a referral yet, Doccy can issue one online from an AHPRA-registered doctor.
What referral reasons do Melbourne ophthalmologists cover?
Melbourne ophthalmologists in this directory cover 4 referral reasons: Cataracts, Glaucoma, Diabetic eye check, Macular degeneration. Each reason lists the practices consulting for it in Melbourne.
