Get your Gastroenterologist referral in minutes

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 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.

Usually within minutes after speaking with a registered telehealth doctor. The referral is sent via email upon the consulting Doctor’s approval.

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.

Hola Health helps you get a gastroenterologist referral within 15 minutes, 24/7, from the comfort of your home. Here’s how:

• Visit the Hola Health website or app and click on see a doctor button
• Choose standard consult. Fill in your details, add Medicare details and make a payment.
• Speak to a licensed telehealth doctor within 15 minutes
• If approved, get a gastroenterologist referral online emailed to your registered email address.

Once you get your valid and signed referral letter from an Australian GP, you can book an appointment with a gastroenterologist of your choice with the help of Hola referral.

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.

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A common condition causing abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
• Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD): Chronic acid reflux that leads to heartburn and potential damage to the oesophagus.
• Celiac disease: An autoimmune condition triggered by gluten that damages the small intestine.
• Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis: Types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that cause long-term inflammation in the digestive tract.
• Liver conditions: Including hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis.
• Gallbladder issues: Such as gallstones or inflammation.
• Peptic ulcers: Sores in the stomach or upper part of the small intestine which may be caused by H. pylori bacterial infection, smoking, alcohol, or certain medications.
• Constipation and diarrhoea: Ongoing or unexplained digestive symptoms.
• Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, which can be acute or chronic.
• Bowel cancer screening: Including colonoscopy for detecting polyps or early signs of cancer.
