During Your Consult
Your clinician assesses your situation and works out which referral is clinically appropriate. They will explain the reasoning and what to expect from the referred appointment.
-
Receiving Your Referral
Your referral is sent electronically via email or your patient portal. You can present it at your chosen provider anywhere in Australia.
-
Follow-Up and Coordination
After that appointment, a follow-up telehealth consult allows your clinician to review the feedback, adjust your care plan and keep your care consistent.
Referrals are a normal part of clinical care. Your clinician may find that you would benefit from allied health support or a review by another doctor. Where clinically appropriate, they can issue the referral during your telehealth consultation. There is no extra cost beyond your consult fee.
You might need a dietitian for your nutrition, an exercise physiologist for rehabilitation, a psychologist for mental health care, or another doctor for further investigation. The process is the same in each case. Your clinician explains the reasoning, issues the referral electronically and fits it into your broader care plan. Follow-up telehealth appointments allow your clinician to review the feedback from the referred provider and adjust your care.
All referrals are issued at the clinical discretion of your treating clinician based on your personal health profile.
