In-patient services
As an inpatient at the Friendly Society Private Hospital, your doctor may recommend a Friendlies Allied Health professional to come and see you during your stay.
Outpatient services
Anyone from the public is welcome to make appointments with our Allied Health Services Team.
You may also need to, or wish to, continue as an outpatient after in-patient treatment.
Outpatients are required to pay a fee. Some patients may be eligible to receive assistance from DVA or Medicare. In this case, you will need to obtain a DVA referral or EPC-Medicare Care Plan from your GP first, and then make an appointment with us.
If you have “extras” cover within your Private Health Insurance, then you may also be eligible for a rebate.
See fees and charges for more information. Please discuss any questions about costs or referrals with one of our helpful receptionists.
Call 07 4331 1888 to book an appointment.
