Referrals
For patients
Do I need a referral?
No, you do not need a referral to book any consultation through the platform.
For some consultations, a referral and/or mental health treatment plan is required to access any available Medicare rebate. More detailed information on pricing, referrals and claiming can be found on our FAQ page.
The medical practitioners (non-specialist) on our platform can provide you with a referral to a specialist or psychologist, if needed. You can also use a referral from your regular GP.
You can get started by taking our short online assessment.
I have a referral from my GP
If you already have a referral and/or a mental health treatment plan from your GP, simply book in a consultation with the relevant sleep expert. After making the booking, a link will be sent to you via email to upload these documents.
We still highly recommend you take our short online assessment, if you have not done so. Completing it before your first appointment helps ensure you connect with the most appropriate practitioner and that your consultation time is used efficiently.
For GPs
Why digisleep?
Sleep disorders are common, but can be complex to investigate in general practice.
Digisleep offers your patients short wait times for appointments with leading sleep specialists and easy at-home sleep testing.
All sleep experts using the platform are committed to working alongside referring GPs to support continuity of care.
Referrals / MHTPs
Referral letters and Mental Health Treatment Plans may be addressed to a specific practitioner by name, or be written more generally (e.g. “Dear digisleep platform specialist”, “Dear digisleep platform psychologist”), and provided to your patient.
Your patient will be sent a link via email to upload any such documentation, after they have booked an appointment.
