Dr Keogh accepts referrals from all patients Australia wide regardless of their funding type. This includes patients who:

 

• Are privately insured;

• Under WorkCover (WC), Transport Accident Commission (TAC) or Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) claims; or

• Self-funding.​

 

All patients require a referral from their GP or specialist. Generally, GP referrals are valid for 12 months from the date of issue and specialist referrals for 3 months.  

​

If care is being accessed under a WorkCover or TAC claim, in addition to a referral, all patients require pre-approval to see a pain specialist.

​

If care is being accessed under a DVA White Card claim, the condition for which advise is sought must be recognised as part of the claim.

​
