    For referring doctors

    When a referral helps

    A CREI subspecialist works alongside you, not instead of you. Most patients return to their referring doctor for ongoing care once a plan is in place.

    • Infertility that has not resolved after initial investigation
    • Recurrent pregnancy loss, or a complex endocrine picture
    • Fertility preservation before treatment that may affect fertility

    Questions patients ask us

    What is a CREI specialist?

    CREI stands for Certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, the area of medicine that deals with hormones and fertility. It is a subspecialty certification awarded by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists after a three-year fellowship, written and oral examinations, and demonstrated ability to manage complex reproductive problems.

    How is that different from a fertility specialist?

    Many doctors provide care for infertility. CREI is a formally certified subspecialty with a defined training pathway and examination. 47 doctors across Australia and New Zealand hold it. The certification tells you what training a doctor has completed, which is not otherwise visible from a title.

    Do I need a referral?

    Yes. Your GP or your gynaecologist refers you to a CREI specialist. The referral is also what gives you access to the Medicare rebate for the consultation.

    Do I have to leave my current doctor?

    No. Many patients see a CREI specialist alongside their existing care, sometimes for a single opinion on a complex problem. Your specialist writes back to the doctor who referred you.

    Does ANZSREI recommend a particular specialist?

    No. ANZSREI represents the subspecialty as a whole. Every member is listed alphabetically and each listing links to that doctor’s own practice website, so the details you see come from the practice itself. ANZSREI does not rank, endorse or recommend one member over another.

    Where do media and government enquiries go?

    To the President’s office. Responses are endorsed by the committee before they are issued.
