Information for patients
Sleep and Lung Care is a specialist practice — you need a current referral from your GP or another specialist to see our respiratory and sleep physicians and to claim your Medicare rebate. Once you have one, upload it here or call (03) 9422 0077 and reception will book your first, in-person appointment at Epping, Brunswick, Doncaster East, Braybrook and Kilmore. Follow-up appointments can be by video where clinically appropriate. New appointments are usually available within about 3 weeks.
Before your appointment
Bring your referral, Medicare card and any concession card, a list of your medications and inhalers, and reports or images from any chest X-ray, CT scan or previous tests. If you already use CPAP, bring the machine or its data card. Reception will tell you if any inhalers should be paused before lung function tests.
If you are booked for lung function tests, read the preparation instructions.
