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.

√ I understand Melbourne Sexual Health requires funding to provide its services. 

√ I agree that Melbourne Sexual Health Centre can bulk-bill Medicare for the services that it provides to me. 

√ I am aware that: 

√ I have the option of not consenting to bulk-billing. 

√ If I consent to bulk-billing, I will not have to pay any extra amount for these services 

√ In order to bulk-bill Medicare, Melbourne Sexual Health Centre will provide Medicare with my Medicare Number and my date of attendance 

√ Both Medicare and Alfred Health are bound by law to keep my personal information confidential 

√ If I have any questions, I understand that I can ask a staff member.

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.

You can find a GP by searching health direct , or ASHM HIV treatment prescribers. 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 finding a GP.

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.
