Clinical referrals
Clinical referrals must be made by a registered medical practitioner, preferably a general practitioner, in order to be eligible for Medicare rebates. They are GST exempt.  A referral for one or both parents as well as the child or young person in question is preferable. Fees for clinical assessments and treatment are available on request. Dr Adler does not bulk bill.
