At GSHealth we specialise in providing safe, efficient medical infusion services to patients upon doctor referral.
Our highly skilled registered nurses excel in cannulation and the administration of intravenous (IV) fluids and medications, ensuring a secure and comfortable experience from start to finish.
Our infusions are administered in a well-equipped medical setting during clinic hours, with additional medical staff on hand to ensure utmost safety.
To receive infusion therapy at GSHealth, patients are required to have a clear doctor’s referral and bring the prescribed medication, which we will administer in a conducive and efficient environment.
Why Choose Infusion Therapy?
Infusion therapy is essential when medication or fluids need to bypass the gastrointestinal tract. This is crucial for individuals who:
- Cannot ingest fluids or medication orally due to nausea or vomiting
- Require immediate medication uptake beyond what oral intake can provide
- Seek a convenient alternative to improve medication adherence
- Aim to avoid hospital admission

You or your doctor can download the referral template in PDF form here, or for medical practitioners using Best Practice you can download a referral template here.
If you see a doctor at GS Health for your iron, then you won’t need a referral letter as your doctor will generally order the iron directly in your notes.
If you book an iron infusion online as a new patient, one of our staff will contact you to clarify if any of the above information is missing or incomplete.

Will you supply the infusion medication?
We do not provide medication for most infusions as they require a prescription from your referring doctor, and must be dispensed from a pharmacy. These will need to be collected from a pharmacy and brought with you on the day of your infusion. However, we may supply certain medications for nausea and vomiting at a small additional cost.
