Yes, you will need to obtain a referral from your GP prior to seeing Dr Halliday.

What is the difference between a private, public, and overseas patient?

A private patient (insured patient) has private health insurance with hospital cover i.e. HBF. A private patient has a choice of who treats them, what location and when they wish to see the doctor.

A public patient (uninsured patient) is a patient with a Medicare Card only and does not have private health insurance. Public patients are usually referred through the Central Referral System for their care and do not usually have a say as to which doctor they see.

Overseas patients (uninsured private patient) are not usually entitled to a Medicare Card. They may have health insurance but are required to pay all fees upfront.
