Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fertility specialist?
A fertility specialist is a clinician (often a reproductive endocrinologist) who identifies and treats issues concerning conception and reproductive health. They assist individuals and couples facing challenges with conception.
What conditions can a fertility specialist help diagnose and manage?
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) – a hormonal disorder affecting ovulation
- Endometriosis – growth of uterine-like tissue outside the uterus
- Male infertility – low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm shape
- Ovulation disorders – irregular or absent ovulation
- Tubal blockage – blocked fallopian tubes preventing fertilisation
- Unexplained infertility – no clear cause despite testing
How long is a specialist referral valid in Australia?
In Australia, a GP referral to a fertility specialist is typically valid for 12 months. If a referral is issued by another specialist, it is usually valid for three months. Always check your referral’s validity.
Can an online GP refer a patient to a fertility specialist?
Online general practitioners can assess your medical history, symptoms, and test results, and if needed, they can refer you to a reproductive specialist, allowing for easier access to treatment.
Do I need to get a fresh referral for follow-up or IVF cycles?
Follow-up appointments are often covered within the referral validity period. Long-term fertility treatments, such as IVF, may require updated referrals over time to keep Medicare benefits.
Are fertility specialist consultations bulk-billed?
Some early consultations or public services may be bulk billed, although many fertility doctors and IVF centres are privately owned. This implies that patients frequently face out-of-pocket expenses.
Can I request a specific fertility doctor or IVF centre on my referral?
You can certainly ask your GP to refer you to a particular fertility specialist or IVF centre. This is a common practice when choosing a preferred provider or a recommended facility.
Can I use the same referral for private and public fertility treatments?
Referrals are often addressed to a specific clinic or specialty. It is essential to ask your doctor if your referral can be utilised for both public and private fertility services.
When should I seek urgent medical care instead of waiting for a fertility referral?
- Severe stomach or pelvic pain
- Heavy or unusual vaginal bleeding
- Fever with vaginal discharge
- Suspected ectopic pregnancy: severe pelvic pain, dizziness, fainting
- Signs of ovarian torsion: sudden, acute pelvic pain
Note: For any of these presentations, call 000 or attend an Emergency Department immediately. Do not book a telehealth referral for these symptoms.
Will my fertility specialist referral cover hormone tests, ultrasounds, or semen analysis?
A referral frequently includes consultation. Your general practitioner or fertility specialist may request separate fertility investigations such as hormone blood testing, pelvic ultrasounds, or sperm analysis.
Does Medicare cover fertility investigations or IVF treatment?
Medicare may pay some of the cost of fertility tests and assisted reproductive treatments. The costs of IVF and related procedures can lead to significant out-of-pocket expenses, depending on the clinic and the services selected.
Hola Health provides specialist referral consultations with AHPRA-licensed doctors in Australia. Referral letters are provided only if deemed necessary by a doctors or medical practitioners in Australia following an online assessment via teleconference.
For genuine emergencies — including severe pelvic pain, suspected ectopic pregnancy, or signs of ovarian torsion — call 000 or attend an Emergency Department immediately.
