Probably. I'm not sure if it's the same for boys as it is for girls. I saw a psych in a different city because my GP said he was good and friendly. I had to drive a 2.5 hours to newcastle to see him. I don't think it matters where you get your letter from but you will still need your GP to give you a referral to see them and they will probably still have a waiting list. I waited 6 weeks. Just ask your GP I guess? xxx

Dr Hayes, the awesome endocrinologist in Sydney has interstate patients (I asked).

I'm pretty sure you'll need a psych letter, which you could get from Dr Michael Scott in Neutral Bay (among others no doubt).

It should be reasonably easy.
