Communication promise
Relevant, concise and consent-based.
Brent communicates directly with referrers when clinically indicated. Updates focus on the question that matters: engagement, formulation, intervention, clinically relevant change, risk and the plan.
Reports, letters and third-party requests are not assumed to be part of every consultation. Their purpose, scope, consent, timing and fee are discussed separately where needed.
Common questions
Referral timing and professional communication.
Does the client need to wait for the referral before contacting Axis?
No. The client can contact Axis first to choose a format and arrange an appointment. A valid referral is generally required before claiming a Medicare rebate.
When will the referral be acknowledged?
Axis acknowledges the referral after it is received and contacts the client or referrer to arrange the appointment.
How are updates handled?
With appropriate consent, communication is concise and directed to the referral question, treatment plan, clinically relevant progress, risk or the next review point.
