Telehealth Psychiatrist | Perth, Western Australia
New Patient Information
Step One - Referral Required
Dr Law is not currently accepting new referrals
When Dr Law opens to new referrals, we tend to get a large number of referrals as there is currently significant demand for psychiatrist appointments in Perth and we regrettably can only accept a small proportion of the total referrals received.
​
If you would like to request a consultation with Dr Law, please see your General Practitioner for a referral. To avoid delays in responding to your referral, it is best to ensure as much detail as possible is included in this referral letter. Your referral should be addressed to:
​
Dr Kate Law
Consultant Psychiatrist
PO Box 4152, Myaree WA 6960
​
Your GP can send your referral to us securely. Alternatively, you can email it to us using the email button below. We advise adding password protection to any documents you email us to protect your confidentiality.
Step Two - Referral Outcome
Your referral will be reviewed as soon as possible once received and we aim to advise you of the outcome within 7 days. If Dr Law is unable to offer an appointment, you will be notified as soon as possible.
We recommend looking at the 'Find a Psychiatrist' website available from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, which helps you to find a psychiatrist with the correct skillset, location and availability for your needs.
Step Three - Appointment Booking
If your referral is accepted, you will be contacted to book your initial consultation.
You will receive the following on booking:
-
Details about your initial consultation
-
Fee and policy information
-
Our secure patient registration form for completion prior to your appointment
-
The opportunity to be added to the cancellation waitlist, which allows us to offer an earlier appointment in the event of a cancellation.
-
Your unique, secure telehealth link will be provided prior to the appointment
Policy Information
Policy and fee information is provided when you book your consultation. Some important points are listed below.
Cancellation Policy
Appointment changes must be arranged at least two business days prior to the booked appointment to avoid the late cancellation fee. The cancellation and no-show fees will be outlined in your fee schedule, which is provided when you book your initial consultation.
Prescribing Limitations
It is important to note we do not prescribe medicinal cannabis or alprazolam. Dr Law reserves the right to cancel prescriptions at her discretion; for example, if they are not being taken as directed.
Fee Policy
We are a private billing clinic and do not offer bulk billing. The fee schedule will be provided to you when you book your initial consultation. Payment is required on the day of the appointment. Prescriptions and reports are released after your appointment fee has been settled.
