Frequently Asked Questions

Whilst some urine in your bladder is helpful, with modern ultrasound it is rare that bladder filling producing discomfort is required. One glass of water 30 minutes prior to your scheduled examination is typically all that is required.

During the COVID-19 outbreak please only bring one support person. No children please.

It is a mandatory requirement of Medicare Australia that a medical referral from your doctor (with a valid reason for the scan) is provided for each ultrasound examination. This referral may be posted or faxed directly from your doctor’s rooms to us (facsimile number (08) 93821927) or brought with you on the day of your examination.

We require payment in full on the day of your examination. We are not a bulk-billing medical practice, however you will be able to claim a portion of your account from Medicare Australia (if your referral has a valid reason for the scan). A costing for your ultrasound examination will be provided to you by our reception staff when you make your appointment.

Womens Imaging Services uses Tricefy, an online platform for image sharing. The Tricefy image-sharing tool enables you to access images of your pregnancy on your mobile device. You can also readily email or text images of your baby to family and friends. We will provide images of your obstetric ultrasound direct to your mobile telephone at the conclusion of your examination. Please download the Tricefy app to your phone, computer or image storage system soon after your ultrasound to avoid loss of your keep-sake images. In keeping with current technology expectations, we no longer provide DVD or hard copy images of the obstetric ultrasound examination.
