Referrals
GP referrals need to be sent before Outpatient appointments can be made. Most clinic referrals require test results to be sent with referrals. E-Referral is encouraged.
Setting up e-Referral: Email referralnet.support@global-health.com and request ReferralNet installation/setup under the Peninsula Health agreement.

| Telehealth = a mixture of face-to-face and Telehealth appointments will continue. Patients should call before canceling appointments if they are unwell, as it may be possible to convert some appointments to a Telehealth call. Due to an increased demand for appointments, longer wait times are likely for many patients. Patients are advised to investigate all referral options.
