Blocked nose or snoring?
Book a $100 telehealth assessment — No referral needed
Nasal congestion, breathing difficulty and snoring are common concerns and may relate to several underlying conditions. A telehealth consultation can help clarify potential causes and whether further assessment is appropriate.
Common contributors include a deviated septum, nasal valve issues, enlarged turbinates, or ongoing sinus inflammation. Treatment varies depending on the diagnosis and may involve medical or surgical options.
Dr Aaron Griffin, ENT, Head & Neck Surgeon, provides telehealth assessments for patients seeking information about their symptoms and whether additional testing or in-person examination may be required.

FAQs
Do I need a referral?
No, but one is required if you wish to claim a Medicare rebate on your consultation.
What will the specialist ask me about?
Discussion usually includes symptoms, sleep patterns, allergy history, previous nasal injury, and any treatments you have already tried. Imaging or an in-person examination may be arranged if clinically appropriate.
Is surgery always required?
No. Many patients benefit from non-surgical approaches, including medication-based treatment or lifestyle measures. Where surgery is considered, you will receive detailed information about possible benefits, limitations and risks so you can make an informed decision.
Can I have cosmetic changes to my nose as well as functional improvements?
Some patients may wish to discuss appearance-related concerns at the same time as functional nasal issues.
If cosmetic surgery is being considered, this requires:
- a GP referral
- screening for Body Dysmorphic Disorder
- completion of all mandatory steps before any cosmetic consultation or treatment
Any discussion of cosmetic options occurs only in accordance with these regulations.
Note: All advice and treatment options are provided in accordance with current clinical guidelines and AHPRA standards. Your care is tailored to your specific diagnosis and preferences — there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach.
