Frequently Asked Questions
How many paediatricians are in Newcastle?
Newcastle has 15 paediatrician 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 a paediatrician 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 paediatrician 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 a paediatrician in Newcastle?
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.
