Current GIMG Patients:
Prior to booking an infusion, you are required to have a consultation with your doctor to discuss the procedure, whether or not it is suitable for your individual circumstances and to get a prescription for the medicine used in the infusion. Please get this prescription filled at your pharmacy and bring the medication to your infusion appointment.
Appointments can be made online, via the AMS Connect app or via reception on 03 9509 7633.
New Patients:
Discuss your suitability for an infusion with your usual doctor or specialist. They will need to complete our Infusion Service Referral Form above and send it to us before we can schedule an infusion appointment for you. Your usual doctor or specialist will also provide you with the prescription. Please get this prescription filled at your pharmacy and bring the medication to your infusion appointment.
Appointments can be made via reception on 03 9509 7633.

Please allow at least 1 hour for the infusion. This includes time for IV cannulation, the infusion as well as observation post-infusion.
