Expert cardiology care across Victoria

Frequently asked questions

When should I see a cardiologist in Australia?

You may be referred to a cardiologist if you have chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, dizziness, or a family history of heart disease. Your GP can refer you for a specialist assessment. We also see patients for preventive heart health checks and second opinions.

Do I need a referral to see a cardiologist?

Yes. In Australia, you typically need a referral from your GP or another specialist to claim a Medicare rebate for your cardiology appointment. We welcome both referred and private patients. Our referrers page has full details for GPs.

What can I expect at my first cardiology appointment?

Your first visit usually includes a discussion of your symptoms and medical history, a physical examination, and possibly an ECG. Further tests such as echocardiography or stress testing may be arranged. We will explain everything in plain language and answer your questions.
