International Care

Care designed around patients travelling to Australia

02

Telehealth where suitable

Where clinically appropriate and permitted, an initial consultation may be possible before travelling to Brisbane.

03

Complete appropriate testing locally

Some blood tests, semen analyses, imaging or other investigations may be able to be performed in your home country before travelling.

04

Coordinate your Brisbane visit

Where possible, appointments and treatment can be planned to reduce unnecessary trips and clarify the expected duration of your stay.

05

Plan your return home

Follow-up requirements can be discussed before departure, including whether ongoing care can occur locally or by telehealth.

Patient Journey

Your international patient pathway

The exact pathway varies depending on your diagnosis and proposed treatment, but international care will generally follow these stages.

1

Send an international patient enquiry

Tell us your main diagnosis or concern, where you live, what treatment you have already received, any previous surgery and when you are considering travelling.

2

Provide relevant medical information

Depending on your condition, this may include specialist letters, imaging, pathology, previous operation reports, blood tests or semen analyses.

3

Initial consultation

Where clinically appropriate and permitted, an initial consultation may occur by telehealth. Some conditions will still require examination or further investigations before treatment is confirmed.

4

Plan your visit to Brisbane

If treatment is appropriate, consultation, investigations, surgery and early follow-up can be coordinated around your proposed visit where reasonably possible.

5

Treatment and early recovery

You will receive procedure-specific advice regarding hospital admission, recovery, wound care, medications, activity and when travel may be appropriate.

6

Follow-up after returning home

Where appropriate, ongoing care can be coordinated with your local urologist, fertility specialist, IVF clinic or general practitioner, with telehealth follow-up where suitable.

We recommend completing the appropriate assessment and discussing your proposed treatment pathway before making major non-refundable travel arrangements.

The required stay varies substantially between procedures and should be discussed before flights are booked.

Treatment in Australia

Coming to Brisbane

Brisbane is the capital of Queensland, Australia. When planning treatment, you should allow sufficient time for your consultation, any required investigations, treatment and early postoperative review.

Your clinical team can advise you regarding the medical component of the expected stay and when return travel may be appropriate.

Patients remain responsible for arranging their own flights, accommodation, visas, travel insurance and other travel requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

International patient FAQs

Can I speak with Dr Crozier before travelling?

Where clinically appropriate and permitted, an initial telehealth consultation may be possible. Some conditions still require physical examination or further testing before a definitive treatment recommendation can be made.

I know which operation I want. Can I book surgery directly?

Appropriate consultation and clinical assessment are still required. The operation you have researched may not necessarily be the most appropriate treatment for your individual circumstances.

Can my overseas scans and test results be reviewed?

Existing investigations can often form part of your assessment. Additional or repeat investigations may sometimes be required depending on their type, timing and clinical relevance.

Can you work with my doctor in my home country?

Where appropriate, ongoing care can be coordinated with your local urologist, fertility specialist, IVF clinic or general practitioner.

How long will I need to stay in Australia?

This depends on the procedure, your health and your recovery. The expected postoperative stay should be discussed before return flights are booked.

When can I fly after surgery?

There is no single timeframe that applies to every operation. Advice depends on the procedure, your recovery and individual clinical considerations.

What happens if I have a problem after returning home?

Your follow-up pathway should be established before departure. Depending on the circumstances, care may involve telehealth and assessment by an appropriate doctor in your home country. Urgent postoperative problems may require immediate local medical care.

Can my partner attend my consultation?

Yes. Partners are particularly welcome during fertility, erectile dysfunction and penile surgery consultations when the patient would like them involved.

Can surgery guarantee the outcome I want?

No. All surgery has potential benefits, limitations and risks, and outcomes vary between patients. These issues are discussed during assessment and informed consent before treatment.
