Can I choose the day and time I attend the department for my appointment?
We have doctor clinics, allied health clinics and nursing clinics at set times. We try to find an appointment time that allows you to attend.
Will I always see the same doctor at each visit?
The St George Hospital is a teaching hospital so you will be seen by a specialist doctor or a specialist doctor in training. You will stay under the care of the specialist doctor but you may see the doctor in training for your appointments.
Who can I bring with me to my appointment?
There is limited seating so please bring along only one support person (for example, a family member, friend or carer) with you.
You will need a referral letter from your local general practitioner (GP) or specialty doctor to use this service. Please ask them to write you a referral letter explaining your medical history, relevant test results, X-ray results and what medicines you are taking. Please send the referral by email (seslhd-stgaged@health.nsw.gov.au), fax (9113 3979) or post (3 Chapel St, Kogarah, NSW, 2217).
We will then send you a letter in the post with the details of your appointment date, time and location. If an appointment cannot be made we will send you a letter confirming that you are on the outpatient waiting list for the next available appointment. Please let us know if your address and/or phone number changes.
If you need to change or cancel your appointment please telephone 02 9113 2183.

Respiratory Laboratory
How Can We Help You
Our pulmonary function laboratory provides specialised breathing tests to help understand how well your lungs are working.
Your doctor may refer you to us to investigate symptoms such as breathlessness, cough and wheeze, or to monitor known conditions like COPD, asthma, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, neuromuscular disease, or to assess your lung reserve before any planned treatment. Your results will help your healthcare team make accurate diagnoses, assess disease severity, plan treatment, and monitor your progress over time.
Our respiratory scientists will guide you through each step of the test in a safe and supportive environment. Please refer to the Pre-Test Information – Pulmonary Function Testing fact sheet for instructions to follow prior to your lung function test, and the Contraindications for Pulmonary Function Testing fact sheet for reasons why tests may be unable to be performed. If you do not meet the pre-test instructions your test may be re-scheduled. Talk to your referring doctor if you have any concerns about undergoing your lung function assessment. You can also contact us if you have any concerns ahead of your lung function assessment.
Preliminary results may be available on the day of your test upon request.
Core Lung Function Testing
- Spirometry: This test measures the volume and speed of air you can forcefully exhale to determine how well your airways are functioning.
- Lung Volumes (Body Plethysmography): While seated in a specialised glass cabin, you will perform breathing manoeuvres to measure the total capacity of your lungs, including air that remains after exhaling.
- Diffusion Capacity (DLCO): This assessment determines how effectively your lungs transfer oxygen from the air you breathe into your bloodstream.
Specialty Lung Function Assessment
- FeNO (Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide): This test measures the level of nitric oxide in your breath, which serves as a marker for allergic-type inflammation in the airways.
- Bronchial Provocation Testing (Mannitol): You will inhale a specific powder in increasing doses to determine if your airways are overly sensitive or prone to narrowing.
- Respiratory Muscle Strength Testing: This procedure evaluates the power of the muscles used for breathing by measuring the maximum pressure you can generate against a mouthpiece.
- 6-Minute Walk Test with Peripheral Pulse Oximetry: This supervised walk monitors your heart rate and oxygen levels to assess your functional mobility and physical endurance.
