About This Service

Specialist Heart Care on the Mornington Peninsula

Heart disease remains Australia's leading cause of death, yet access to cardiologists often means long waits and trips to metropolitan hospitals. Our visiting cardiologist consults at Peninsula MDC Mornington, bringing specialist expertise directly to our community.

Referral from your GP is required for specialist cardiology consultations. Your GP will coordinate the referral and ensure your recent investigations — including ECG, pathology and blood pressure records — are forwarded to the cardiologist before your appointment.

Access to specialist cardiology services is essential for the management of conditions including atrial fibrillation, heart failure, coronary artery disease and cardiomyopathy — and Peninsula MDC Mornington brings this expertise directly to our community. Our visiting cardiologist conducts consultations at our Mornington clinic, reducing the need for patients to travel to metropolitan Melbourne for specialist cardiac care. GP referral is required to access Medicare rebates for specialist consultations; please speak with your Peninsula MDC GP, who will assess your cardiac history and prepare a comprehensive referral on your behalf.

FAQs

Common Questions

Do I need a GP referral to see the cardiologist?

Yes — a GP referral is required for specialist cardiology consultations. This ensures Medicare rebates apply and that the cardiologist receives your relevant medical history before the appointment.

How long is the wait for a cardiology appointment?

Wait times vary. For urgent referrals (e.g. new AF, heart failure, chest pain), we expedite appointments. Please speak with your GP about urgency and we will do our best to accommodate.

What should I bring to my cardiology appointment?

Bring your GP referral, a list of current medications, any previous ECG traces, recent blood tests and a summary of your cardiac history. Your GP's rooms will also send relevant records directly.

What is an echocardiogram?

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart, providing real-time images of the heart's structure and function. It is painless, non-invasive and takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

Can the cardiologist manage my medications?

Yes — your cardiologist can adjust, prescribe or recommend cardiac medications, which are then managed in conjunction with your GP for ongoing monitoring and repeat prescriptions.
