New Patients

Patients are usually seen on referral from General Practitioners and Specialists. To be eligible to claim a Medicare rebate from the government you need to be both eligible for Medicare and have a current referral.

Patient Registration

Please register on-line via this website prior to your appointment date.  We require a copy of your referral and any relevant investigations prior to booking you an appointment.  You can email this to requests@catocardiology.com.au .  We will then triage and contact you to set up a date and time.

Required for your first appointment

Patients are requested to bring the following to all appointments:

• Doctors referral
• Current Medicare card
• Pension card (Seniors Card NOT APPLICABLE) 
• DVA Gold card (if applicable)
• Any recent test results you have available including where you have had recent bloods test performed.
• A list of ALL of your medications including dosage and times you take the medication. Alternatively bring in all your tablets in the original bottles/packaging
• Patient registration form (on-line registration via this website is preferred)

Doctor Referrals

It is important that you have a valid referral for your visit. This will enable you to get the maximum rebate from Medicare. It is your responsibility to ensure your referral is still valid. A referral from your General Practitioner will last for 12 months (unless stated otherwise) but a referral from a Specialist will last for only three months.
