Frequently Asked Questions

Is Botaniqal Clinic a licensed medical provider?

Yes, Botaniqal Clinic is a licensed Australian medical facility specialising in alternative therapeutic treatments. Our clinic employs qualified nurses and doctors registered to prescribe botanical medicine products to treat various conditions.

Why do I need to go through an intake process before my appointment?

Both GP and alternative medicine appointments require an intake process to help us understand your health concerns. This ensures your doctor has all the necessary information to tailor your consultation.

For alternative medicine consultations: The intake process includes a pre-screening form to help our doctors assess if alternative medicine is the best option for your healthcare needs.

For GP consultations: The simplified intake form focuses on your general health and immediate concerns.

How do alternative medicine consultations differ from GP consultations?

Alternative medicine consultations focus on holistic approaches to managing discomfort, sleep issues, or emotional wellbeing and require a more comprehensive prescreening process. If our doctor determines you are not suitable for alternative medicine, we’ll recommend a GP consultation.

GP consultations are for general health concerns, including common illnesses, prescriptions, and general medical advice. These appointments have a straightforward intake process.

Do I need a referral to book a consultation?

No referral is necessary. Simply complete our online pre-screening form to check eligibility, then you can book a consultation directly if suitable for alternative medicine treatment. A referral is ideal but not necessary, however if your health records are incomplete, a Health Summary will be required.

Please note: The alternative natural therapies prescribed by Botaniqal Clinic doctors are not first-line treatments for any medical condition. Conventional treatments must be attempted first to qualify for holistic therapy

Is my information confidential?

Yes, the clinic treats patient privacy seriously. Your information is stored securely and is only shared with pharmacies and suppliers when necessary to provide you with medication, or as required by law.

For prescriptions involving Schedule 8 substances, your healthcare provider will have access to your medical history via real-time monitoring. This is a government program that tracks these medications to prevent misuse.

Can I combine a GP consultation with an alternative medicine consultation?

Currently, appointments are handled separately to ensure the best focus on your health concerns. However, our team can guide you on how to proceed if both services are needed.

Give us a quick call at 1300 153 019 if you are not sure which consultation to choose.

Does health insurance cover alternative medicine treatment?

Most private health insurers in Australia cover some or all of the costs of alternative medicine prescriptions. However, there are exceptions. It's important to check with your insurer specifically to see if they offer coverage before making a claim.

Is my alternative medicine or consultation with Botaniqal Clinic covered by Medicare?

As our clinic continues to evolve and grow, we anticipate that Medicare coverage may become available in the near future. We're actively working towards this goal to make our services more accessible to all patients. We recommend checking back regularly for updates on Medicare coverage, as we're committed to providing you with the most current information about payment options and potential rebates.

Is there a minimum age for a holistic therapy consultation?

Yes, at Botaniqal Clinic we require that you must be 18 years or older to qualify for a holistic therapy consultation.
