Once my GP has sent a referral how do I book an appointment?
When we receive your referral one of our team will contact you to book an appointment time that suits you.
If you have any questions or concerns about your booking or referral, please call us on (03) 9683430 during office hours or send an enquiry through our contact page on this website and we will endeavour to help.
Can I make an appointment to see you or do I need to be referred?
In order to book an appointment to see one of our Gynaecologists we require a referral from your GP. This is so that we can fully understand your needs and any relevant aspects of your medical history in order to provide you the best possible care.
If you are wanting pregnancy care with one of our Obstetricians in the Femina Baby team you can book directly without a referral. Please see our Femina Baby website for more details.
