Specialist Directory (Heads of Unit)

Need assistance determining which surgeons and obstetricians have admitting rights to Peninsula Health?

A current listing of all Peninsula Health specialists, as well as the phone number for each unit, is available as a resource to assist General Practitioners and other Health Professionals with patient referrals to Peninsula Health.

GPs can refer their patients to private rooms in the knowledge that their patients can be put on a hospital surgical waiting list if appropriate. The exception to this is that all orthopaedic public patients need to be seen in the Orthopaedic Outpatient Department before they can be put on the hospital surgical waiting list.
