How to Refer
For a question about genetic testing, a patient you are thinking of referring, or a result that needs explaining, send us a message and we will reply within two working days.
To refer a patient, send a standard specialist referral addressed to Prof Martin Delatycki or Dr Tristan Hardy by fax. For a pregnant patient, include the weeks of pregnancy and phone us on the number below, because testing windows close.
Patients: Ask your GP specialist or specialist for a referral. You need one to claim the Medicare rebate.
