Green Room Specialist Clinic

If you have a Medicare card, we will ask you to bring an indefinite referral letter from your GP

There is no change to the service provided by the doctors, nurses and pharmacy.

There remains no out of pocket cost to you for your healthcare at Melbourne Sexual Health Centre.

Your access to pharmacy and your medications will remain unchanged.

By providing us with a GP referral, we will routinely write to your GP updating them on the care we are providing you. This is known as a specialist referral model, which is routine practice between GPs and specialists.

If your GP writes you an indefinite referral, you should only need to do this once.

If you change your GP or your GP moves to another practice, then we will need a new indefinite referral.

We believe that the specialist referral model strengthens the relationship between you, your GP and your HIV specialist . Adapting the way we use Medicare bring us in line  with other Alfred Health outpatient  services.

There will be no change to the service we provide to people without Medicare.

Our staff can help you find a GP if you would like us to. Please call us in The Green Room if you would like to talk to us about this.

Yes, you can still see your regular doctor.

We will remind you before your visit that we ask for a GP referral. If you forget we will still provide your care as usual, but ask that you remember for your next visit, as this is the new model of care in The Green Room.
