Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes early so that we can register you with the clinic prior to commencing your appointment with our psychiatrist.

The first appointment will usually last between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Please bring your referral letter if not already sent to the clinic. Please bring a list of your current medications and any doctors’ letters that you may have. You can bring a support person such as your spouse/ parent/ carer/ friend for support and providing additional information.

These will usually last between 15 to 45 minutes. You can still bring your support person if you wish.

There is free parking at the premises and ample free parking on nearby roads and streets should that be required.

Missing an appointment or late cancellation means that someone else who might have benefitted from seeing the doctor has missed out. There will be a $100 fee for missing an appointment or not cancelling your appointment with at least 24-hour notice unless there is an emergency. This is not funded by Medicare. This only applies to clinical appointments as IME appointments have a different fee structure.

No doctor practicing at the Brisbane Psychiatry Centre consents to their consultation being recorded. This applies to both clinical and IME consultations.

Please attend on time for your appointment. Coming late may mean that your psychiatrist is unable to see you on the day due to other appointments that they might have.

If an interpreter is required, this should be pre-arranged with the person making your appointment. A relative is not usually suitable.

A copy of the medico-legal report will be forwarded to your legal representative once it has been completed and finalised. Please be aware that this process usually takes 10 business days .

Your legal presentative will contact you once they have received the report.
