Your First Appointment

Thank you for choosing us as your care provider.

On the day of your appointment, please arrive 10-minutes early to ensure we have enough time to prepare any outstanding paperwork.

We are mindful that your time is valuable and would like to avoid keeping you waiting. However, occasionally a patient may present that requires a little extra time spent on them, which may cause unforeseeable scheduling delays beyond our control. Where possible, we will advise you if we are running late. We apologise in advance if you are kept waiting.

During your first appointment, a thorough medical and diagnostic work-up may be required. If you have completed any tests (blood test results, MRI within 6-months, X-Ray, CT scan, etc), please email these to our administration team prior to your appointment date so that A/Prof Mews can thoroughly review them prior to your appointment.

  • Once you have secured an appointment time and date, you will be sent a triaging email by our team with the relevant attachments for you to complete.   
  • You may also be asked to complete additional questionnaires depending on the reason for referral, to provide Dr Mews additional information relevant to your situation or condition  
  • A current referral from your GP or Specialist 
  • Medicare, DVA and Pension cards
  • Your Private Health Insurance details
  • Any tests or scans, including blood tests, ultrasounds, X-rays, MRIs or CTs you have had done
  • A list of all medications you are on (including prescription, vitamins, supplement or herbal medicines)
  • Any relevant correspondence from other specialists who may be involved in your care
  • List of any known allergies
  • Glasses (if you wear them)
  • A list of any questions you may wish to ask so you don’t forget on the day

 

You are encouraged to bring a support person to your appointment if you wish to do so.

If the condition relates to a Workers Compensation claim, please bring your claim number, approval letter for appointment, insurer details, name and contact details of your case manager.

If you undergo surgery, the necessary post-operative appointments will be scheduled. These are important appointments to monitor your recovery progress and avoid complications.
