What state are you in? Any GP should refer you to an ENT at the cancer centre. They will see you immediately and organise tests through the public system.
Waiting 6 weeks is just ridiculous. I live in Melbourne. Melbourne has Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Parkville, Royal Melbourne Hospital, Olivia Newton John Cancer Centre @ Austin Hospital and many other cancer centres. Sydney has several cancer centres and so does every other states. Please let me know if you need assistance.
