Urgent referrals are accepted. If your patient requires timely review, please call the clinic directly and ask to speak with the receptionist about an urgent appointment. Dr Li is happy to be contacted if clinical discussion would be helpful prior to booking.

Current wait times for routine appointments are generally within a few weeks to a month, though this may vary. 

Please contact the relevant clinic for the most up-to-date availability. 

Urgent appointments are accommodated where clinically indicated.

A standard specialist referral is all that is needed. Where possible, it is helpful to include:

• A brief clinical summary and reason for referral
• Relevant history (reaction details, timing, suspected triggers)
• Current medications, including any antihistamines or topical treatments
• Any previous allergy investigations (skin prick test results, specific IgE/RAST) or relevant blood results
• Any relevant hospital discharge letters

Dr Li's practice is privately billed. Patients require a valid GP referral and Medicare card to be eligible for a Medicare rebate. Claims can be submitted on the day of the appointment.
