Referral Guidelines to Specialist Services and Clinics

General Practitioners (GP) and other health professionals can make referrals to Peninsula Health services using the referral information available. Referrals must be made following referral guidelines.

Referral Process

Encrypted E-Referral via ReferralNet is preferred for Outpatient referrals. 

Please Note: Outpatient referrals are still accepted by FAX at this stage. See the right-hand blue tool bars for the Outpatient FAX number as well as for phone numbers for enquiries.

E-Referral and ReferralNet Set Up

To organise the set up of encrypted e-referral via ReferralNet to Outpatients, please email the Digital Application Team on digi-apps-team@phcn.vic.gov.au  including your GP Clinic name and phone number.

Please DO NOT send referrals by email directly to the Digital Application Team.

Exceptions to central Outpatient Fax and E-referrals: There are exceptions to central Outpatient intake for e-referrals and fax for some services including ACCESS (Community Health). Please see individual clinic referral guidelines for details.
