Migraine referrals in Australia

A practical overview of why referral details matter before a specialist booking.

4 min read · Updated October 2026

A referral is part of the booking pathway

For specialist care in Australia, referral details can affect Medicare rebates and how the clinic handles your booking.

Rather than treating referral status as a simple yes or no, Clea records who issued it and when, then reminds the member to confirm validity with the clinic.

Keep these details handy

  • Who issued the referral
  • When it was issued
  • Which specialist or clinic it names if relevant
  • Whether the clinic requires a new or updated referral
