Specialist Outpatient Clinics

Our Outpatient Clinics offer planned, non-admitted medical, nursing, and allied health services for those needing specialised assessment or treatment not available from a GP or community health provider.

For an appointment, you need a referral from your GP, another specialist, or your current doctor.

Services Provided:

• Assessment, diagnosis, and treatment by medical, nursing, and allied health professionals
• Ongoing management of chronic and complex conditions in collaboration with community providers
• Diagnostic services such as pathology and imaging
• Before and after in-hospital care

Referral Process

Submit Referral: Your GP, specialist, or doctor must complete the referral

Referral Review: The Peninsula Health team reviews the referral to determine urgency

• Urgent: We will contact you via text or phone to arrange an appointment
• Routine:     You will receive an SMS confirming your waitlist status, and we will contact you when an appointment is available

Referral Outcome

• Accepted:   We proceed with scheduling based on urgency
• Declined:   We will contact you or your referring GP if there is missing information, or we suggest referring to other health services

Note: Specialist Outpatient Clinics are not an emergency service. If your condition worsens, see your GP. Your GP will determine if you require an earlier appointment, and they can send a new referral with additional information.
