You will need a referral from your general practitioner (GP) or specialist to see one of our respiratory and sleep physicians, have a sleep study or lung function test. Referrals from a specialist are valid for three months, while referrals from a GP are valid for 12 months.
You can download and print one of the referral forms from the links on this page, or your doctor can write their own referral.

MQ Health Respiratory and Sleep Clinic will send an SMS reminder or call you a couple of days prior to your appointment date to confirm. How long should I allow for my first appointment?
We recommend you allow an hour and a half. During your first visit to our clinic you may need to have some tests and discuss your medical history and condition with your specialist in detail.
Yes there is. Directions and parking information can be found here.
We suggest you bring the following items to all appointments:
Please arrive ten to fifteen minutes early for your first appointment, as you will need to complete a patient information form. Our staff will then register you as a patient.
If you are a respiratory patient, you will have a lung function test with one of our respiratory scientists. You'll then see your respiratory specialist, who will analyse your test results, talk about your condition and determine your ongoing treatment plan.
We want our patients to go into their treatments with confidence. Key questions you can ask your doctor include:
Our reception staff will create an account for your consultation and any testing performed before you leave. Upon payment, we can electronically lodge your account claim with Medicare. You can also make any follow-up appointments at reception on your way out.
As we are a private clinic, there will be an out-of-pocket cost associated with the appointment. This fee depends on the specialist you see, and the length and complexity of your consultation and condition. Please call the clinic for more information on exact costs for you. Below is a guide only.
Initial appointment | Varies between $260 and $500 |
Subsequent appointment | Varies between $140 and $250 |
Lung function testing | Varies between $80 and $350 (depending on test required) |
Concessions available? | Some of our specialists offer concessions for age pensioners |
Medicare offer rebates for your appointment fees and diagnostic tests with a valid referral. In most cases, however, there will be a gap between the rebate and the fee. We can lodge your rebate with Medicare on your behalf when you pay for your appointment. Medicare will then credit your nominated bank account.
Most private policies only cover you when you are admitted to hospital and don’t cover specialist consultations. For more information, speak to your health fund directly about what’s covered in your policy.
MQ Health Respiratory and Sleep Clinic is not a bulk billing practice, so you will need to pay at the time of your consultation. Please remember to bring your pensioner, health care or DVA cards to ensure we bill you at the correct rate.
If you are a DVA patient with a gold card, we can lodge your account directly to DVA with no out-of-pocket expense for you. Remember to bring your gold card to each appointment.
We welcome positive and constructive feedback in order to continuously improve our service. You can leave a message in the feedback box in the reception area, complete our survey or email us at feedback@mqhealth.org.au.
