What an ENT specialist treats
ENT specialists commonly see sinus problems, hearing issues, tonsillitis, voice disorders, sleep apnoea assessments, and some head and neck conditions. Exact scope varies by specialist.
What to expect
After referral, the ENT specialist reviews your history, examines the relevant area, and discusses treatment options. Some procedures can be done in rooms; others may need hospital care.
Typical costs (indicative)
Specialist initial consults are often privately billed — commonly around $200–$350 before Medicare rebates, with out-of-pocket costs varying. Some specialists bulk bill selected patients. Confirm fees when booking.
Booking & referrals
Most ENT specialists require a GP referral. A GP can examine your concern first and refer you if specialist care is appropriate.
Common questions
- Can I see an ENT without a GP referral?
- Some ENT specialists accept self-referrals, but Medicare rebates usually require a valid referral. A GP visit is the usual first step.
