Cough Clinic
The cough clinic is a multidisciplinary appointment attended by both an Otolaryngologist (Ear Nose & Throat) Head & Neck Surgeon and a Speech Pathologist, specialising in middle airway dysfunction.
Your first visit will involve a review of your health and will also routinely include a fibreoptic endoscopic assessment of your upper and middle airway.

Appointment fees
The overall cost will amount to less when compared with seeing multiple specialists at separate times. ENT North fees are payable to ENT North and True Voice Fee are payable to True Voice – these are two separate payments.
How to book your appointment
A valid GP referral, addressed to our ENT surgeon, is required prior to booking and can be sent to reception@entnorth.com.au. You may then be asked to complete additional information for our ENT doctors to assess if the Cough Clinic is the most suitable option for you.
Once your referral and this additional information has been triaged, our reception team will contact you to arrange the appropriate next steps.
Preparing for your Cough Clinic appointment
As a new patient, it is important for us to have received your intake and consent form prior to your appointment, this will be sent to you at the time of booking. Please send through any relevant referrals, investigations and documents to reception@entnorth.com.au prior to your appointment.
