Frequently Asked Questions
How online referral for gastroenterologists work?
A referral to a gastroenterologist can assist with diagnosing and managing a range of gastrointestinal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), coeliac disease, chronic constipation, and liver conditions. Early intervention and specialist care can help improve quality of life and reduce the risk of complications.
Whether you’re experiencing persistent gut issues, abdominal pain, or concerns like IBS, acid reflux, or bloating, Hola Health’s online doctors or practitioners can assess your symptoms via video consult and issue a referral if needed. With Hola Health, getting an online referral for a gastroenterologist is quick, simple, and entirely virtual.
How long does it take to receive an online gastroenterologist referral?
Your referral is typically sent to your email shortly after your consultation, upon the practitioner’s approval.
Do I need a referral for a gastroenterologist?
In Australia, you’ll generally need a GP referral to see a gastroenterologist if you plan to claim a Medicare rebate. While some private specialists may accept direct bookings without a referral, having one ensures your gastroenterologist receives important medical history and symptom details, allowing for more accurate, personalised care.

Who is a gastroenterologist?
A gastroenterologist is a medical specialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and oesophagus. They manage issues like chronic abdominal pain, bloating, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, liver disease, and more.
Hola Health provides specialist referral consultations with AHPRA-registered online doctors pr medical practitioners in Australia. Referral letters are provided only if deemed necessary by doctors or medical practitioners in Australia following an online assessment via teleconference.
Bulk-billing is available for eligible patients with a valid Medicare card for specific service types (general consults, scripts, after-hours urgent care) and during designated time periods only. Private fees apply for all other services. Our 15-minute wait time is based on typical wait times; it may vary depending on demand and availability.
Clinical note: A telehealth assessment can help evaluate your gastrointestinal symptoms and determine whether a gastroenterologist referral is clinically appropriate. Some gastrointestinal conditions — including those requiring abdominal examination, endoscopy assessment, or urgent investigation — may require in-person assessment before a referral can be safely issued. Your online GP will advise if this applies to your situation. For severe abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, persistent vomiting, or signs of bowel obstruction, call 000 or attend an emergency department immediately. We recommend sharing your consult summaries with your regular GP to ensure continuity of care.
