Can only a paediatrician refer us?!

[Janie71]

I got a referal from our GP, but that was probably about 10 months ago now.

It sounds very strange having to go to a Paed for a referal???

Thanks for the replies, I might try calling them directly tomorrow and failing that seek a second opinion.

Well I rang the allergy clinic direct this morning and no i definately do not have to have a referal from a pead. A GP referal will surfice and then its only so we can get the medicare rebate. Im not very happy at all with our GP's response to this matter and now am deciding if I go back with what I know and try to get the referal from her again, or seek a second opinion on the entire matter.
