Orthopaedic FAQs
Whether you’re a parent seeking care for your child or an adult managing an orthopaedic condition, these FAQs provide helpful information about our services, conditions we treat, and how to access specialist care.
When should a child’s limp be assessed by a specialist?
Persistent limping should always be assessed. Causes can include hip disorders, foot deformities, infections, or subtle injuries that may require specialist care.

Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
A GP referral is typically required for specialist orthopaedic consultations. This ensures appropriate assessment, communication, and access to Medicare rebates where applicable.
